Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in the Garhwal Himalaya Integrating Seismic Shaking and Active‐Fire Predictors With an XGBoost Model

ABSTRACT The Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand, India, is a tectonically active, deeply dissected orogen in which landsliding is conditioned by a heterogeneous mix of topographic, geological, hydro‐climatic, seismic and anthropogenic controls. Reliable, high‐resolution susceptibili...

Contrasting mechanisms of present-day vertical deformation along the northeastern Tibetan Plateau: Insights from 3-D viscoelastic modeling

Summary The northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau exhibits pronounced spatial variations in present-day vertical crustal deformation, yet the mechanisms controlling these differences remain debated. In particular, contrasting uplift patterns are observed between the Liupansh...

Landslide susceptibility mapping using Frequency Ratio, Random Forest, and XGBoost Models along NH-7 between Nandprayag and Vishnuprayag

Landslides are a significant natural hazard in mountainous regions, causing substantial environmental and socio-economic damage. This study aims to evaluate landslide susceptibility using Frequency Ratio (FR), Random Forest (RF), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models in...
