Abstract

Understanding susceptibility is crucial for effective risk assessment, mitigation, and management. This chapter delves into the applied methods and techniques for susceptibility modeling and map**. It also describes the obtained findings by showcasing instances of susceptibility maps produced by the applied methods in parallel with their interpretation and significance. The chapter also shows the validation techniques and results in relation to the accuracy of the applied methods. Finally, we discuss the uncertainty and limitations involved in the study.
