Jin, Z., West, A., Zhang, F., An, Z., Hilton, R., Yu, J., …Wang, X. (2016). Seismically enhanced solute fluxes in the Yangtze River headwaters following the A.D. 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Geology, 44(1), 47-50. https://doi.org/10.1130/g37246.1

Large earthquakes alter physical and chemical processes at Earth’s surface, triggering landslides, fracturing rock, changing large-scale permeability, and influencing hydrologic pathways. The resulting effects on global chemical cycles are not fully... Read More about Seismically enhanced solute fluxes in the Yangtze River headwaters following the A.D. 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.

Controls on fluvial evacuation of sediment from earthquake-triggered landslides (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Jin, Z., Hilton, R., Zhang, F., Densmore, A., Li, G., & West, A. (2015). Controls on fluvial evacuation of sediment from earthquake-triggered landslides. Geology, 43(2), 115-118. https://doi.org/10.1130/g36157.1

Large earthquakes in active mountain belts can trigger landslides, which mobilize large volumes of clastic sediment. Delivery of this material to river channels may result in aggradation and flooding, while sediment residing on hillslopes may increas...
