Effects of earthquake and cyclone sequencing on landsliding and fluvial sediment transfer in a mountain catchment.

The article provides information on the effects of earthquake and cyclone sequencing on landsliding and fluvial sediment transfer in a mountain catchment. It is stated that strength, location, and sequencing of rain storms and earthquakes are the key determinants in identifying the patterns and rates of landsliding and fluvial sediment transfer. To be able to explore the scenario, mapping of landslides caused by three tropical cyclones and a very large earthquake in the Chenyoulan catchment in Taiwan Central Range has been done. Water and sediment discharges and rock strengths are also discussed to expound on the topic.
