| dc.description.abstract | Given the increased hazards faced by transport corridors such as climate induced extreme weather, it is essential that local spatial hotspots of potential landslide susceptibility can be recognised. In this research, an evidential reasoning multi-source geospatial integration approach for the broad-scale recognition and prediction of landslide susceptibility in transport cor- ridors was developed. Airborne laser scanning and Ordnance Survey DTM data is used to derive slope stability parameters, while Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) imagery and existing national scale digital map datasets are used to characterise the spatial variability of land cover, land use and soil type. A novel approach to characterisation of soil moisture distribution within transport corridors was developed that incorporates the effects of the catchment contribution to local zones of moisture concentration in earthworks. The derived topographic and land use properties are integrated within the evidential reasoning approach to characterise numeric measures of belief, disbelief and uncertainty regarding slope instabil- ity spatially within the transport corridor. The model highlighted the importance of slope, concave curvature and permeable soils with variable intercalations accounting for over 80% of slope instability and an overall predictive capability of 77.75% based on independent validation dataset. | en_US |
