RegionGrow3D: A deterministic analysis for characterizing discrete three-dimensional landslide source areas on a regional scale
Regional-scale characterization of shallow landslide hazards is important for reducing their destructive impact on society. These hazards are commonly characterized by (a) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (b) landslide size and frequency using geomorphic scaling laws, and (c) the magnitude of disturbance required to cause landslides using initiation thresholds. Typically, t

RegionGrow3D
RegionGrow3D (RG3D) is a software for computing slope stability on a regional scale within a three-dimensional (3D), limit-equilibrium framework. RG3D efficiently computes discrete, 3D landslide geometries throughout a digital landscape. Potential landslide source areas are identified and grown downhill until force equilibrium is achieved.
