  • Publication number: 20230341573
    Abstract: An evaluation method for evaluating a precipitation-induced landslide disaster loss under climate change is provided. The evaluation method belongs to the technical field of geological disaster prevention and treatment. The evaluation method uses a physical process based model, in considering of spatial heterogeneity of land-surface features of grids in the area, to obtain precipitation thresholds corresponding to the respective grids in the area having the spatial heterogeneity. Historical data and climate model data are taken in combination to select suitable climate models, and the model then is used to simulate landslide prone zones and possible influence zones caused by landslides. An influence zones simulated by the evaluation method can better match disaster loss grid data, which can solve the problem that climate change scenarios and influence of landslide are difficult to be evaluated in landslide disaster evaluation.
