Abstract

The article focuses on the Taroko National Park in Taiwan where the wet slopes and earthquakes have made landslides common. Niels Hovius, a geomorphologist and his colleagues have made it a landscape dynamics observatory by installing various instruments. It is noted that monitoring landslides will help the researchers understand what triggers them and how landscapes recover. Landslide researcher Robert Emberson has found that landslides in Taiwan are sources of Carbon dioxide.
