Landslide susceptibility mapping by binary logistic regression, analytical hierarchy process, and statistical index models and assessment of their performances (2013, methodology): “The modes of failure for the landslides identified in the study area were determined according to the landslide classification system proposed by Varnes (1978).”
Postfire erosional processes in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions (2003, background): “…recognize many unique classes of mass-wasting events and have developed a systematic classification scheme and naming conventions for mass-wasting processes (see Varnes, 1978), however, the physical basis for distinguishing among types of mass-wasting and erosional transport events is complex.”
Remote Sensing for Landslide Investigations: An Overview of Recent Achievements and Perspectives (2014, methodology): “Landslides are classified here according to the consolidated scheme published in Cruden and Varnes [1] and Varnes [11].”
Landslide susceptibility mapping using GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis, support vector machines, and logistic regression (2014, background): “Landslides are described as mass movements of soil or rock that involve shear displacement along one or several slip surfaces, which are either visible or may be reasonably inferred (Varnes 1978).”
Landslide susceptibility mapping using support vector machine and GIS at the Golestan Province, Iran (2013, methodology): “However, during the analyses performed in the present study, only rotational failure according to the landslide classification system proposed by Varnes (1978) was considered and translational slides were eliminated because its occurrence is rare.”
A comparative study of landslide susceptibility maps using logistic regression, frequency ratio, decision tree, weights of evidence and artificial neural network (2016, methodology): “In the study area, based on the landslide classification system of Varnes (1978), the predominant type of landslide is translational slides, which has appeared on cut slopes or embankments along two highways, Chuo Expressway and Japan National Route 21.”
