Climate Change and Environmental Studies Progress Report

Abstract

This research group report presents three complementary studies integrating statistical modeling and environmental data analysis.

(1) Personalized Functional PCA:
We develop a PerFPCA framework that decomposes functional variability into shared and individual-specific components, improving interpretability and predictive accuracy. Simulations and an application to Argo float data show that PerFPCA outperforms traditional FPCA for heterogeneous ocean regions.

(2) Groundwater–Seismic Interaction:
We investigate how seasonal groundwater level fluctuations influence localized seismic activity in southwestern Taiwan. The results suggest that hydrological loading modulates crustal stress and affects earthquake occurrence patterns.

(3) Regime-specific DAS Modeling:
Machine learning models trained on distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data with regime-specific information achieve better P/S-phase identification than pooled models, demonstrating the importance of incorporating environmental context.

Together, these studies highlight the synergy of statistical innovation and geophysical understanding for analyzing complex environmental systems.
