Inform and support government
■In response to the challenges posed by landslides and geological damage due to severe climate change, the Department of Civil Engineering at NYCU has collaborated with interdisciplinary teams and the Highway Bureau of MOTC to develop the “GeoPORT System” for monitoring mountain slopes near highways. The research findings have been published in the prominent journal Engineering Geology.
■The Disaster Prevention and Water Environment Research Centre is actively collaborating with the government on various projects. Notably, they have developed monitoring systems to analyse and simulate fluctuations in rainfall and river water levels, providing critical insights to determine the need for localised alerts and potential evacuations within short timeframes. Amid the increasing threats posed by extreme climate events, the centre has made significant progress in analysing and mitigating rockfall disasters. Further information on this system can be found on the website: GeoPORT System. (http://140.113.136.114:81/DAXi/index.html)
