“…The change in tectonic regime and the direction of stress prevailing in Iran, coupled with climate variations, especially the end of the last glacial period in the Younger Dryas, has led to extensive instability in the slopes of Iran. On the other hand, the desiccation of the Paleo Mega Lake of Rey (Habibi et al, 2023;Jarahi, 2019Jarahi, , 2021Jarahi et al, 2022aJarahi et al, , 2022bNajafian et al, 2022) Today, most studies conducted on landslide susceptibility mapping utilize digital tools for managing spatial data, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Specifically, GIS-based techniques are highly suitable for landslide susceptibility mapping, as they incorporate predisposing factors (e.g., geology, topography) into the GIS environment and combine them with the spatial distribution of landslides (Bonham-Carter & Bonham-Carter, 1994;Chung, 1983;Papathanassiou et al, 2013;Van Westen et al, 2003).…”
