Remote-sensing observations of Typhoon Soulik (2013) forced upwelling and sediment transport enhancement in the northern Taiwan Strait

Submarine pipelines must be designed to resist wave and current induced hydrodynamic forces especially in and near the surf zone. They are buried as protection against forces in the surf zone, however this procedure is not always feasible particularly on a movable sea bed. For this reason the characteristics of the sediment transport on the construction site of beaches should be investigated. In this investigation, the application of the remote sensing method is introduced in order to determine and observe the coastal morphology, so that submarine pipelines may be protected against undesirable seabed movement.

Suspended Sediment Concentrations

Based on a series of multi-source satellite remote sensing imageries and wind parameters extracted from QuickSCAT satellite datasets, the surface suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) of the Zhuanghe coastal area, China was investigated using the retrieval technique. The results showed that the SSC of the Zhuanghe coastal area is higher in the nearshore zone, and gradually diminishes to the offshore. During the ebbing process, the range of high SSC zone is wider than that during the flooding process. This feature indicated that the suspended sediment transport is mainly determined by the ebb currents, and the sediment source comes from the nearshore shallow flats, where the sediments could be entrained by the wind waves and then diffuses offshore or alongshore with the tidal currents.

Landslide Morphology

Abstract. Several remote sensing techniques, namely traditional aerial photographs, an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and airborne lidar, were used in this study to decipher the morphological features of obscure landslides in volcanic regions and how the observed features may be used for understanding landslide occurrence and potential hazard. A morphological reconstruction method was proposed to assess landslide morphology based on the dome-shaped topography of the volcanic edifice and the nature of its morphological evolution. Two large-scale landslides in the Tatun volcano group in northern Taiwan were targeted to more accurately characterize the landslide morphology through airborne lidar and UAS-derived digital terrain models and images. With the proposed reconstruction method, the depleted volume of the two landslides was estimated to be at least 820 ± 20  ×  106 m3. Normal faulting in the region likely played a role in triggering the two landslides, because there are extensive geological and historical records of an active normal fault in this region. The subsequent geomorphological evolution of the two landslides is thus inferred to account for the observed morphological and tectonic features that are indicative of resulting in large and life-threatening landslides, as characterized using the recent remote sensing techniques.
