Landslide susceptibility maps (LSMs) are vital for hazard mitigation and planning, but their direct comparison remains challenging due to differing methodologies, map classes, and lack of accessible digital data. This study presents a novel approach for quantitative pixel-level comparison of published LSMs—often only available as images—using the PIA software. Fourteen LSMs from eight studies in the Alborz Mountains, Iran, wer...

There is a growing societal, economic, and political demand to translate available data on regional climate change into sector-specific, practice-oriented, and user-friendly information. The study presents a demand-driven approach to specify the impacts of regional climate change on agriculture, viticulture, and fruit and vegetable growing in Lower Franconia, southern Germany, a region with heterogeneous topography, diversifie...

Landslide research chiefly relies on digital inventories for a multitude of spatial, temporal, and/or process analyses. In respect thereof, many landslide inventories are populated with information from textual documents (e.g., news articles, technical reports) due to effectiveness. However, information detail can vary greatly in these documents and the question arises whether such textual information is suitable for landslide...
