The Varnes classification of landslide types, an update
TL;DR: The modified Varnes classification of landslides has 32 landslide types, each of which is backed by a formal definition as mentioned in this paper, and complex landslides are not included as a separate category type, but composite types can be constructed by the user of the classification by combining two or more type names.

The application of GIS-based logistic regression for landslide susceptibility mapping in the Kakuda-Yahiko Mountains, Central Japan
TL;DR: In this paper, a landslide susceptibility map in the Kakuda-Yahiko Mountains of Central Japan is presented, where the authors use logistic regression to find the best fitting function to describe the relationship between the presence or absence of landslides (dependent variable) and a set of independent parameters such as slope angle and lithology.

Landslide inventory maps: New tools for an old problem
Fausto Guzzetti,Alessandro Cesare Mondini,Mauro Cardinali,Federica Fiorucci,Michele Santangelo,Kang-Tsung Chang +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the principles for landslide mapping, and review the conventional methods for the preparation of landslide maps, including geomorphological, event, seasonal, and multi-temporal inventories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide inventories and their statistical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined three well-documented landslide events, from Italy, Guatemala and the USA, each with a different triggering mechanism, and found that the landslide areas for all three are well approximated by the same three-parameter inverse-gamma distribution.

Landslide characteristics and, slope instability modeling using GIS, Lantau Island, Hong Kong
Fuchu Dai,C.F. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) database, compiled primarily from existing digital maps and aerial photographs, to describe the physical characteristics of landslides and the statistical relations of landslide frequency with the physical parameters contributing to the initiation of landslide on Lantau Island in Hong Kong.
