TL;DR: In this article, a new raster-based approach is developed for landslide risk analysis, focusing on the risks to life and the associated uncertainties are estimated qualitatively, showing that risk heavily varies depending on the process considered.

TL;DR: This study of landslides in Lower Austria focuses on the model form uncertainty to assess the quality of a flexible statistical modelling technique, the generalized additive model (GAM), and the implications of spatially varying prediction uncertainties regarding the susceptibility map classes by taking into account the confidence intervals of model predictions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of traditional methods (drilling, mapping, inclinometers) and geophysical techniques (2D-resistivity (ERT), ground-penetrating radar (GPR)) was applied to gain knowledge about the thickness and internal structure of the landslide.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored discrepancies between the predictive performance of a landslide susceptibility model and the geomorphic plausibility of subsequent landslide susceptibility maps while a particular emphasis was placed on the influence of incomplete landslide inventories on modelling and validation results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a susceptibility analysis was carried out for the Barcelonnette Basin, situated in the southern French Alps, by means of a methodology based on empirical rules for source identification and the empirical angle of reach concept for the 2D runout computation, a worstcase scenario was first modelled.
