• Indian Institute of Technology Delhi has made the first high-resolution landslide susceptibility map for India.
• The ILSM, developed by the IIT Delhi researchers, is a national-scale artificial intelligence based landslide susceptibility map, which is the first of its kind covering India.
• It has a spatial resolution (size of the smallest feature that can be detected by a satellite or displayed in a satellite image) of 100 metres with over 95% accuracy.
• It is developed using a historical landslide inventory of more than 150,000 events in India, including data covering all past landslides as per the government records.
• The researchers used the Ensemble Machine Learning Approach, where the results of multiple machine learning models are combined to enhance overall accuracy.
