Landslide hazard susceptibility mapping based on terrain and climatic factors for tropical monsoon regions

Nagarajan, R. / Roy, A. / Vinod Kumar, R. / Mukherjee, A. / Khire, M. V.

Abstract Deep weathering, residual material (colluvium) and random rainfall intensity are mainly responsible for landslides in tropical monsoon regions. These parameters are often not taken into consideration in a landslide susceptibility assessment. Sustainable resources development in this region requires information on the spatial distribution of areas susceptible to landslides. This study highlights various aspects of the landslides that take place on the west coast of India and a methodology developed for landslide susceptibility mapping.
