Thrilled to share our latest publication "Visualizing uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling using bivariate mapping" https://nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/1425/2025/

What’s inside:
A new way to jointly visualize susceptibility & uncertainty in landslide prediction
Practical, open-source tools for implementation in R and QGIS

Loved the interdisciplinarity of this project
