On the influence of temporal change on the validity of landslide susceptibility maps [PDF]
, 2009 The consideration of non-stationary landslide causal factors in statistical landslide susceptibility assessments is still problematic. The latter may lead to erroneous model predictions, especially in times of dramatic environmental change.

Qualitative Landslide Susceptibility Assessment in Small Areas
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractThe paper shows the application of heuristic methods to assess qualitatively the landslides susceptibility of an area located at the end of the flowslides path. Numerical analyses have been performed to study the flowslide propagation phase and landslides susceptibility maps of the studied area have been obtained.

Landslide susceptibility mapping based on triggering factors using a multi-modal approach [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 Landslide susceptibility mapping has been done using statistical and physically-based assessment techniques with limited focus on mode-specific models to identify failure modes and runout patterns. Because each failure mode has different consequences, it
