Codes for Probabilistic Post-Fire Shallow Landslide Susceptibility Modeling Considering Spatiotemporal Land Cover Uncertainties: A Case of January 2025 Palisades Wildfire in Southern California
Probabilistic, physics-based modeling of post-fire shallow-landslide susceptibility and its uncertainty.
Core pieces: RFHydrorealization.py — generates random fields of post-fire hydraulic conductivity RFroot.py — generates random fields of post-fire root cohesion Main_SF_para_prob_eff.m — MATLAB model for shallow-landslide susceptibility (factor of safety and failure probability)
Inputs: Place required geospatial inputs in RasterT_Palisad4_SpatialJoin6_TableToExcel.xlsx derive from ArcGIS Pro
Quick start:
- Generate hydraulic conductivity random fields RFHydrorealization.py produces ensembles of post-fire hydraulic conductivity (or multipliers) over the study grid.
- Generate root cohesion random fields RFroot.py produces ensembles of post-fire root cohesion (or multipliers) that evolve over time.
- Run the physical model in MATLAB Open Main_SF_para_prob_eff.m, and set the paths.
Outputs: Fs maps per time step and ensemble member
