Abstract
For landslide susceptibility assessment, lithology information is often extrapolated from official geological maps, which do not allow a direct spatial transformation into a detailed lithological map. To overcome this limitation, a study was made for the Grande da Pipa River basin, Portugal, to detail the existing geological maps, keeping the units’ age sequence but separating the main lithological types. In addition, it explored supplementary cartographic information (e.g., slope angle) to infer the boundaries of lithological units using differential erosion and associated morphological interpretation criteria. Finally, the lithological map produced was compared with the official geological map using sensitive analysis and different partitions of a historical landslide inventory. The results consistently record improved predictive capacity for landslide susceptibility if more detailed lithological maps are used instead of the commonly available geological maps.
