Landslide susceptibility for weather induced landslides: ICG (left) and b) JRC models (right)

Landslide susceptibility for weather induced landslides: ICG (left) and b) JRC models (right) A distinct difference can be observed between the two models, where JRC model in general defines larger areas being exposed to landslides than the ICG model. This already shows that classification of landslide zonation maps is subjective and depends on the choice of the experts. The classified hazard map of JRC is definitely more conservative although it does incorporate hotspots of known hazard such as north-west Scotland, which the ICG model does not. Red circles show possible hotspots. White colour represent region without landslide hazard.
