A LLOF (Landslide Lake Outburst Flood) event happened in eastern Taiwan on Sept 23, causing severe flooding in the downstream area. Despite warnings issued in advance, it killed 17+ people, mostly elders living in 1F. The image taken by Planet Lab today shows the affected area of this LLOF event.

Our department is running a student field trip for non-geology major students twice per year for almost 30 years in Taiwan. This is one of the iconic courses in our university. Lots of logistics, paperwork, and headache need to be taken care of by TAs and instructors, but the result is positive.

The aftermath of Mw 7.2 Hualien earthquake in April this year. #Landslides and #debris flows are now the constant in eastern #Taiwan when heavy rain visits the strong shaked area.

This location used to be the datum #benchmark of #Taiwan. Because of that, the Taiwan datum used to be called "Hu Tze Shan" coordinate system. The monument has now been turned into a continuous GNSS station, and is one of the primary CORS ground control point of the island.

Abandoned mechanical house for the ski lift in the Mt. #Hehuan area, #Taiwan. Back to 70s and early 80s, there was an attempt to develop a ski resort in the Central Range of Taiwan. However, the plan fail because of the short winter season and the lack of frequent heavy snow.

The real and the animated scene at #Daiba in the animation of "Tokyo Magnitude 8.0" . This animation describes the damage and human response AFTER an Mw 8.0 earthquake struck Tokyo. This is one of my favorite "Nat Hazards" stories on the screen.
