SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPS FOR GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS IN BAVARIA

Since 2006 the Bavarian Environment Agency creates susceptibility maps of geological hazards in Bavaria.

Different processes like shallow landslides, deep seated landslides and rock fall are modelled based on geological information, a GIS-based landslide inventory and a high resolution laser scan DEM. The resulting susceptibility maps on regional scale indicate areas potentially affected by geological hazards and are a helpful tool for planning authorities.
