Characteristics of landslide path dependency revealed through multiple resolution landslide inventories in the Nepal Himalaya

Recent research in Umbria, Italy, has shown that landslide susceptibility is controlled by a process called path-dependency, which describes how past landslides control the locations of future landslides. To date, path-dependency only been characterised Italy. This raises question whether this occurs other geomorphic settings, and thus should be more universally included assessments. Therefore, main aim paper to investigate quantify path dependency Nepal Himalaya. achieved applying several dependent metrics three monsoon-triggered inventories for central-eastern These were developed at two different spatial temporal resolutions. As such, we not just but also assess characteristics are resolution-dependent. We find strong evidence occurring Nepal, with all having overlap between new than expected from random distribution, tentative observation degree decreases time. Finally, whilst observable across both investigated inventory resolutions, rates magnitudes quantified sensitive length, study region size size/type mapped. Overall, our results corroborate observations confirming does occur suggesting explicitly considered approaches.
