Short summary

This research was motivated by damage of underwater cables and pipelines caused by turbidity flows which regularly take place along the eastern coast of Taiwan. Elevated discharge of terrigenous sediments during typhoons and their subsequent settling on the steep sea floor can cause submarine landslides which induce such turbidity flows. In this article we simulated the fate of sediments discharged from the Peinan River and identified areas which exhibit a high risk of turbidity flows.
