Application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms for Landslide Susceptibility Assessment in Landslide Prone Himalayan Region

Landslides are an unpredictable natural disaster, but steps can be taken to reduce their impact. The Landslide Susceptibility Index plays a critical role in minimizing the risk of living in landslide-prone areas. Effective planning and management of these locations are essential. In recent years, st...
