Measuring landslide vulnerability status of Chukha, Bhutan using deep learning algorithms

Abstract Landslides are major natural hazards that have a wide impact on human life, property, and natural environment. This study is intended to provide an improved framework for the assessment of landslide vulnerability mapping (LVM) in Chukha Dzongkhags (district) of Bhutan. Both physical (22 nos...
