This package provides valuable tools to analyze rainfall-induced landslides. In RainSlide the following analytic tools are implemented:
- survey based on Bornaetxea et al. 2018: Calculation of the effective surveyed area. The original Python script was translated to R and adapted to fit the raster-requirements. For computation GRASS GIS is required.
- event based on Melillo et
al. 2014 and
2018: Objective
reconstruction of rainfall events responsible for landslides. The
rainfall threshold is calculated using
RainSlide::thresh. - thresh based on Peruccacci et al. 2012 and Rossi et al. 2017: Calculation of cumulated event rainfall–duration (ED) thresholds using the frequentist method.
The programming code is based on the references, but may vary slightly due to R-specifications or computational performance reasons.
