Abstract
The Wenchuan earthquake with magnitude 8.0 hit Longmen Mountain on May 12, 2008. The coseismic deformation changed the slope in an instant and caused massive outbreaks of landslides and debris flows, which altered the river transport system. The seismic landslides, debris flows and subsequent heavy rainfall and flooding increased sediment discharge. Data on sediment discharge, rainfall, landslides, and debris flows were collected in this study...
