Abstract. Landslide is a frequently observed natural phenomenon and a geohazard with destructive effects on economies, society and the environment. Production of up-to-date landslide susceptibility (LS) maps is an essential process for landslide hazard mitigation. Obtaining up-to-date and accurate data for the production of LS maps is also important and this task can be achieved by using aerial photogrammetric techniques, which can produce geospatial data with high resolution. The produced geospatial datasets can be integrated in data-driven methods for obtaining accurate LS maps. In the present study, LS map was produced by using data-driven machine learning (ML) methods, i.e. random forest (RF). An earthquake and landslide prone area from the south-eastern part of Turkey was selected as the study area. Topographical derivatives were extracted from digital surface models (DSMs) produced by using aerial photogrammetric datasets with 30 cm ground sampling distances. The lithological parameters were employed in the study together with an accurate landslide inventory, which were also delineated by using the high-resolution DSMs and orthophotos. The relationships between the landslide occurrence and the pre-defined conditioning factors were analyzed using the frequency ratio (FR) method. The results show that the RF method exhibits high prediction performance in the study area with an area under curve (AUC) value of 0.92.

AbstractBackgroundImproving the knowledge and understanding of the environmental determinants of malaria vectors abundances at fine spatiotemporal scales is essential to design locally tailored vector control intervention. This work aimed at exploring the environmental tenets of human-biting activity in the main malaria vectors (Anopheles gambiae s.s., Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles funestus) in the health district of Diébougou, rural Burkina Faso.MethodsAnopheles human-biting activity was monitored in 27 villages during 15 months (in 2017-2018), and environmental variables (meteorological and landscape) were extracted from high resolution satellite imagery. A two-step data-driven modeling study was then carried-out. Correlation coefficients between the biting rates of each vector species and the environmental variables taken at various temporal lags and spatial distances from the biting events were first calculated. Then, multivariate machine-learning models were generated and interpreted to i) pinpoint primary and secondary environmental drivers of variation in the biting rates of each species and ii) identify complex associations between the environmental conditions and the biting rates.ResultsMeteorological and landscape variables were often significantly correlated with the vectors’ biting rates. Many nonlinear associations and thresholds were unveiled by the multivariate models, both for meteorological and landscape variables. From these results, several aspects of the bio-ecology of the main malaria vectors were precised or hypothesized for the Diébougou area, including breeding sites typologies, development and survival rates in relation to weather, flight ranges from breeding sites, dispersal related to landscape openness.ConclusionsUsing high resolution data in an interpretable machine-learning modeling framework proved to be an efficient way to enhance the knowledge of the complex links between the environment and the malaria vectors at a local scale. More broadly, the emerging field of interpretable machine-learning has significant potential to help improving our understanding of the complex processes leading to malaria transmission.

Landslides are the most common natural hazards in Nepal especially in the mountainous terrain. The existing topographical scenario, complex geological settings followed by the heavy rainfall in monsoon has contributed to a large number of landslide events in the Kaski district. In this study, landslide susceptibility was modeled with the consideration of twelve conditioning factors to landslides like slope, aspect, elevation, Curvature, geology, land-use, soil type, precipitation, road proximity, drainage proximity, and thrust proximity. A Google-earth-based landslide inventory map of 637 landslide locations was prepared using data from Disinventar, reports, and satellite image interpretation and was randomly subdivided into a training set (70%) with 446 Points and a test set with 191 points (30%). The relationship among the landslides and the conditioning factors were statistically evaluated through the use of Modified Frequency ratio analysis. The results from the analysis gave the highest Prediction rate (PR) of 6.77 for elevation followed by PR of 66.45 for geology and PR of 6.38 for the landcover. The analysis was then validated by calculating the Area Under a Curve (AUC) and the prediction rate was found to be 68.87%. The developed landslide susceptibility map is helpful for the locals and authorities in planning and applying different intervention measures in the Kaski District.

This study developed and verified a new hybrid machine learning model, named random forest machine (RFM), for the spatial prediction of shallow landslides. RFM is a hybridization of two state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, random forest classifier (RFC) and support vector machine (SVM), in which RFC is used to generate subsets from training data and SVM is used to build decision functions for these subsets. To construct and verify the hybrid RFM model, a shallow landslide database of the Lang Son area (northern Vietnam) was prepared. The database consisted of 101 shallow landslide polygons and 14 conditioning factors. The relevance of these factors for shallow landslide susceptibility modeling was assessed using the ReliefF method. Experimental results pointed out that the proposed RFM can help to achieve the desired prediction with an F1 score of roughly 0.96. The performance of the RFM was better than those of benchmark approaches, including the SVM, RFC, and logistic regression. Thus, the newly developed RFM is a promising tool to help local authorities in shallow landslide hazard mitigations.
