Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Using the Scoops3D Model in a Tropical Mountainous Terrain

The prediction of shallow landslide location and size using a multidimensional landslide analysis in a digital terrain model

Shallow landslides on steep slopes often mobilize as debris flows. The size of the landslide controls the initial size of the debris flows, defines the sediment discharge to the channel network, affects rates and scales of landform development, and influences the relative hazard potential. Currently the common practice in digital terrain-based models is to set the landslide size equal to an arb...

Landslide susceptibility mapping using logistic regression analysis in Latyan catchment

    Every year, hundreds of people all over the world lose their lives due to landslides. Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. I...

Assessment of landslide susceptibility, semi-quantitative risk and management in the Ilam dam basin, Ilam, Iran

Landslide susceptibility assessment considering landslide typology. A case study in the area north of Lisbon (Portugal)

The aim of the study is to confirm the importance of discriminate different types of slope movements for a better landslide susceptibility evaluation. The study was applied to the sample area of Calhandriz (11.3 km2) in the area North of Lisbon. Sixty shallow translational slides, 23 deeper translational movements and 19 rotational movements were selected for statistical analysis. Landslide sus...

Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Using Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation Model in Rwanda

Landslides susceptibility assessment has to be conducted to identify prone areas and guide risk management. Landslides in Rwanda are very deadly disasters. The current research aimed to conduct landslide susceptibility assessment by applying Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation Model with eight layers of causal factors including: slope, distance to roads, lithology, precipitation, soil texture, so...
