Analysis of the spatial association of geographical detector-based landslides and environmental factors in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, China.

Steep canyons surrounded by high mountains resulting from large-scale landslides characterize the study area located in the southeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau. A total of 1766 large landslides were identified based on integrated remote sensing interpretations utilizing multisource satellite im...
