Characterization of land subsidence in the Choshui River alluvial fan, Taiwan
Land subsidence in Taiwan has increased rapidly over the past four decades, owing to heavy withdrawal of groundwater. Leveling surveys, layer compressions and groundwater level in individual layers were contin...

A systematic approach for the assessment of flooding hazard and risk associated with a landslide dam
Inundation caused by landslide dams may occur in the upstream and downstream of the dams. A proper flooding hazard assessment is required for reaction planning and decision-making to mitigate possible flooding...

Deriving landslide dam geometry from remote sensing images for the rapid assessment of critical parameters related to dam-breach hazards
Dam-breaches that cause outburst floods may induce downstream hazards. Because landslide dams can breach soon after they are formed, it is critical to assess the stability quickly to enable prompt action. Howe...

A comprehensive mechanics-based model to describe bedrock river erosion by plucking in a jointed rock mass
Plucking is an erosion mechanism usually occurring to sub-meter rock blocks in a bedrock channel subjected to intense water current. The removal of a rock block because of plucking can be either a result of im...

Large paleo-rockslide induced by buckling failure at Jiasian in Southern Taiwan
The major regions of Taiwan consist of high-relief terrain exposed to frequent typhoons and earthquakes. Recently, thousands of potential large-scale landslides have been delineated via remote sensing analysis...
