Tectonic uplift and landslides triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake and constraints on orogenic growth: A case study from Hongchun Gully, Longmen Mountains, Sichuan, China

Many uncertainties need to be taken into account to estimate the relationship between tectonic uplift, the landslide volume triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake, and constraints on the orogenic growth of the Longmen Shan (Mountain). In this research, coseismic tectonic uplift, landslides, and postseismic debris-flows in Hongchun Gully located at the earthquake epicenter have been studied. Field data, aerial photographs, and digital elevation...
