本研究以高精度空載光達資料,配合地形計測分析,判釋研究區域內之構造地形單元,比對區域內水系發育、岩性特徵、構造形態與階地分布之間的關係,以及野外調查資料驗證,進而探討環山地區之河流襲奪問題。綜合各項分析成果,顯示蘭陽溪上游大規模崩塌事件,導致暫時侵蝕基準面的改變,使得蘭陽溪向源侵蝕速率較大甲溪為快,進而造成蘭陽溪發生河流襲奪的現象。
The advent of airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technique provided a high resolution Digital Terrain Model (DEM) to explore the morphological evolution at the different time and space scales. In this study, we used openness image-processing technique to visualize the topographic characteristics and identified the river capture between Tachia River and Lan Yang River.
