Landslide susceptibility mapping through enhanced dynamic slope stability analysis using earth observing satellite measurements
<p>Landslides are common throughout the world and can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and heavy continuous rainfall in mountainous regions. For most types of slope failure, soil moisture plays a critical role because increased pore water pressure reduces the soil strength and …

A novel approach by integrating physically and Machine leaning-based models for landslide susceptibility assessment
One of the most destructive natural hazards is landslide, and Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM) estimates the probability of the hazard in a region. Physical and Machine Learning (ML) based models are common methods for evaluating landslide susceptibility. Physically-based models are …
