20. The calculated scar volume was about 0.1255 km 3 ; the deposit volume was about 0.148 km 3, which suggests a volume increase of 19% during the landslide event, as a consequence of the decompaction during the landsliding. The high-resolution digital elevation model derived form the recent airbone LiDAR data enabled us to map and analyse in more detail. The LiDAR data allowed comprehensive investigation on spatial patterns and morphological features occurring along the sliding surface and fill areas. The calculated eroded volumes (about 0.01 km 3 /yr in the deposit area of the landslide, for a period of nearly 4 years) are very large with respect to the size of the affected area, giving very high local denudation rates. It would be quite logical to reconstruct rapid erosion just after dam emplacement and decreasing erosion later. A major typhoon (Toraji, July 2001) hit the are during the second period. Large values highlight the importance of landslide process of long-term denudation in the Taiwan. Conclusion and discussion
