Variations of Fluvial Sediment Transport after Large Earthquakes: Field Study in Taiwan Catchments

By estimating long-term suspended sediment discharges around river catchments, recovery periods of fluvial sediment transport after a large earthquake can be assessed. This study proved that the recovery period in a given catchment is positively correlated with the peak ground motions triggered by a...
