TL;DR: Erosion rates in the Taiwan mountains are estimated from modern river sediment loads, Holocene river incision and thermochronometry on a million-year scale and the pattern of erosion has changed over time in response to the migration of localized tectonic deformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured particulate organic carbon load and composition in the LiWu river, Taiwan, during cyclone-triggered floods and found that tropical cyclones may facilitate the delivery of non-fossil particulates organic carbon to the ocean and its subsequent burial.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the definition that a bedrock channel cannot substantially widen, lower or shift its bed without eroding bedrock, and applied to channels in Taiwan, this leads to a different classification than previous definitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the erosion of fossil organic carbon (OC fossil) from the Taiwan mountain belt, combining discharge statistics with measurements of particulate organic carbon load and source in 11 rivers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that if hyperpycnal plumes evolve into bottom-hugging gravity currents descending to and ultimately debouching in the deep sea, earthquakes may be recorded as bundles of turbidites.
