The Tsaoling landslide triggered by the Chi-Chi earthquake, Taiwan: Insights from a discrete element simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D discrete element model (PFC2D) is used to simulate the kinematic behavior of a major landslide triggered by the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply this technique in addition to (U-Th)/He thermochronology on detrital zircons to assess peak metamorphic temperatures (T) and the late exhumational history respectively, along different transects in central and southern Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topographical changes revealed by high-resolution airborne lidar data; the 1999 Tsaoling landslide induced by the Chi-chi earthquake

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors mapped the Tsaoling landslide area and estimated the landslide volume, using a high-resolution digital elevation model from airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), aerial photographs and topographic maps.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geometry and structure of northern surface ruptures of the 1999 Mw=7.6 Chi-Chi Taiwan earthquake: influence from inherited fold belt structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a kinematic model with a 3D fault surface for the 1999 Mw=7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in central western Taiwan has been characterised by mapping along the northern fault segment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Realistic Surface Topography on Seismic Ground Motion in the Yangminshan Region of Taiwan Based Upon the Spectral-Element Method and LiDAR DTM

TL;DR: In this paper, LiDAR DTM data and an improved mesh implementation are combined to investigate the effects of high-resolution surface topography on seismic ground motion based upon the spectral element method.
