Abstract

Our objective was a comparison between Random Forest (RF, machine learning) and Generalized Additive Mo-del (GAM, conventional method) for landslide susceptibility modeling of rainfall-triggered landslides.
In the Styrian Basin more than 3,000 landslides occurred after heavy rainfall events in 2009 and 2014 causing significant da-mage to human infrastructure (Knevels et al., 2020).
The area affected during a 2009-type event could grow by up to 45% in a 4 K global warming scenario (Maraun et al., 2022; Knevels et al., 2023), making appropriate and robust landslide susceptibility predictions a necessary prerequisite for decision-makers.
