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.

TL;DR: An automatic soil radon monitoring station was set up at the fault zone, at the same place as existing monitoring wells and creep meter monitoring as mentioned in this paper, where anomalous high radon concentrations were observed, usually a few days before local earthquakes.
32 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the current deformation in Ilan Plain of northeastern Taiwan considered as the western extension of Okinawa Trough based on 34 geodetic sites observed between 2002 and 2006.
27 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a study to explore the reasons for the differences in the kinematics of two different landslides, Hungtsaiping (HTP) and Jiufengershan (JFES), and concluded that the seismic anisotropy and the corresponding sliding direction are important contributing factors to the studied landslides.
24 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol was applied to large aliquots of 90-150μm quartz, with dose rates based mainly on high-resolution gamma spectrometry.
