Geoinformatics and Modelling of Landslide Susceptibility and Risk

This book discusses various statistical models and their implications for developing landslide susceptibility and risk zonation maps. It also presents a range of statistical techniques, i.e. bivariate and multivariate statistical models and machine learning models, as well as multi-criteria evaluation, pseudo-quantitative and probabilistic approaches. As such, it provides methods and techniques for RS & GIS-based models in spatial distribution for all those engaged in the preparation and development of projects, research, training courses and postgraduate studies. Further, the book offers a valuable resource for students using RS & GIS techniques in their studies.

Explores all geographical parameters and their roles in landslide processes Presents various statistical models and discusses the development of landslide susceptibility and risk maps Describes modern tools and techniques, i.e. remote sensing and geographical information systems Highlights quantitative and semi-quantitative approaches
