TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the geomorphic impact of the 1999 Mw 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, which triggered >20,000 landslides and showed that the sequential processes have led to a factor-of-four increase in unit sediment concentration in rivers draining the epicentral area and increased the magnitude and frequency of hyperpycnal sediment delivery to the ocean.

TL;DR: Using a time series of landslide maps and suspended sediment transport data, this paper showed that the MW7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan was followed by a period of enhanced mass wasting and fluvial sediment evacuation, peaking at more than five times the background rate and returning progressively to pre-earthquake levels in about six years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of the Chi-Chi earthquake on the occurrence of landslides and explored the initial conditions triggering debris flows in the Chenyulan River watershed in central Taiwan.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors recognized the consistent occurrence of the subduction wedge and collision prism onshore and offshore Taiwan and reconstructed the evolution of the accretionary prism during subduction and collision tectonics of Taiwan.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the Chi-Chi earthquake on subsequent rainfall-induced landslides was evaluated by comparing the occurrence of landslides in the Choushui River watershed through eight SPOT images that covered the period from 1996 to 2001.
