Assessing critical rainfall thresholds for landslide triggering by generating additional information from a reduced database: an approach with examples from the Betic Cordillera (Spain)

The denudation of young reliefs prone to landslides can have severe consequences for society and the environment. However, landslide databases and the additional information (landslide type, date and triggering factors) necessary to deal with landslide hazard assessment and the development of effective and reliable landslide warning systems are usually scarce or non-existent. In this way, by taking into account the date of landslide events and...
