@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5948, title = {Landslide and Debris Flow Characteristics during Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan}, author = {C. Y. Chen}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {As the global climate changes, the threat from landslides and debris flows increases. Learning how a watershed initiates landslides under abnormal rainfall conditions and predicting landslide magnitude and frequency distribution is thus important. Landslides show a power-law distribution in the frequency-area distribution. The distribution curve shows an exponent gradient 1.0 in the Sandpile model test. Will the landslide frequency-area statistics show a distribution similar to the Sandpile model under extreme rainfall conditions? The purpose of the study is to identify the extreme rainfall-induced landslide frequency-area distribution in the Laonong River Basin in southern Taiwan. Results of the analysis show that a lower gradient of landslide frequency-area distribution could be attributed to the transportation and deposition of debris flow areas that are included in the landslide area.}, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {6}, year = {2013}, pages = {328 - 331}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5948}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/78}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 78, 2013}, }
