While earthquakes are a major geologic hazard, many outstanding questions remain about the mechanisms that control their occurrence, magnitude and frequency. Society and the economy are affected not only by large tectonic earthquakes, but also moderate-size events induced by human activities such as resource extraction. By integrating geophysical observations with numerical modeling, Prof. Liu's research program investigates the source mechanism of natural and anthropogenic earthquakes, focusing on processes that operate across timescales and in various types of tectonic settings. The research outcomes of this program will promote the transition from conceptual understanding towards quantitative prediction of earthquakes and hazard assessment.

尽管地震是一种主要的地质危害，但关于控制其发生，幅度和频率的机制仍然存在许多杰出问题。社会和经济不仅受到大型构造地震的影响，而且还受到人类活动（例如资源提取）诱发的中等规模的事件的影响。通过将地球物理观测与数值建模相结合，Liu教授的研究计划研究了自然和人为地震的来源机制，重点关注跨时标和各种构造环境的过程。该计划的研究结果将促进从概念理解到地震和危害评估的定量预测的过渡。
