Owing to its historical heritage, IES’s geophysical research is particularly strong in seismology, both observational and theoretical. In addition, geomagnetic research expertise has long been established. Recent years have seen rapid and solid growth in geodetic applications in geophysics and active tectonics, particularly GPS, gravity and remote sensing techniques. New thrusts include mantle dynamics modeling, heat flow, and space remote sensing. IES operates several island-wide geophysical and geodetic measurement networks (along with those by other agencies such as the Central Weather Bureau) on Taiwan and nearby islets, and expanding into various neighboring countries under international cooperation.
In geochemistry, research areas relate to tectonics, orogeny, volcanology, geology and cosmology based mainly on radioactive and stable isotope techniques, mineralogy, and land as well as marine geological dating techniques. IES is well equipped with state-of-the-art geochemical instruments and facilities of pertinent function and scale.
