Chi-Chi, Taiwan Earthquake

This site contains papers on the September 20, 1999, Chi-Chi (Taiwan) earthquake that originally were hosted on the U.S. Geological Survey Web server "Caldera." That machine was shut down along with most of the rest of the U.S. Department of Interior's Internet access as a result of a court order over Indian Trust lands. The papers are now hosted here just as they were on the old Caldera server.
