Turtle Island geographical situation and the catastrophic events that impacted the time-series work. (a) Shallow vents study area in Turtle Island off Taiwan, where work was conducted around the island, in the YV and in the WV. A summary of the project can be watched in Video S1. (b) Magnitude 5.8 earthquake that hit the south of Turtle Island on 12th May 2016, triggering landslides, creating a new shoreline, and burying vents. Included are a map with earthquakes crust depth and the acceleration sensor data. The landslides that occurred during the earthquake can be watched in Video S2. (c) Category 5 typhoon Nepartak that hit Turtle Island and mainland Taiwan from 2nd to 10th of July 2016with large waves causing washout of sediments, particle/sediments resuspension and burial of vents. Detailed typhoon real-time data and photos can be found in Videos S3, S4, and details on rain, pressure, wind speed and significant wave height in Fig. S3. The final databases are deposited at the NOAA National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) under Accession Number 0175781 in https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0175781 with DOI: 10.25921/6hy3-6d56. Aerial maps were obtained from Google, Google Earth, Images ©2018 CNES/Airbus,Data SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO ©2018 Google. Earthquake data and mapping belong to co-author I. Konstantinou (unpublished). Typhoon imagery were obtained from the Central Weather Bureau (http://www.cwb.gov.tw/eng/). All imagery and maps were individually obtained, and the final figure was generated using Corel Draw X7 (Corel Corp.).
