Why Empirical Modeling?
• Most landslide models show where landslides will be, but not how many.
• If we want to evaluate operations or landscape plans, we need to know how many landslides will result from our plan.
A simple example
Q: How many landslides will a high hazard area produced?
A: Count the fraction that have slid already, and apply this to the proposed action.

Regression

• Allows any mapable variables of interest
• Already coded in ArcInfo
• Output in Probability of Landsliding

Hazard Mapping
• Using just slope and curvature, we can create a hazard map, much like SMORPH.
• This map can guide our design
Operational Assessment
• Calculate cell probabilities before and after the operation, subtract, and sum the differences (E(ls)=.364).
before after difference
Landscape Evaluation
• Same as the Operational evaluation, but on a larger scale.
