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 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: The authors compared the performance of four published techniques used to reduce the bias in a regional climate model precipitation output: (1) linear, (2) nonlinear, (3) γ-based quantile mapping and (4) empirical quantile mappings.

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 article, the Pitzbach stream in Austria has been studied and the authors present an empirical equation to estimate bedload transport rates from measured suspended load transport rates for short and long-term sediment load partitioning.
