Cover Story: The northern stretch of the Arun watershed in East Nepal is dominated by steep slopes and rugged topography and experiences extensive landslides each year. Reliable landslide susceptibility assessment can potentially be an important tool for risk evaluation and mitigation in the Himalayas. The present study explores two GIS-based bivariate statistical methods, the weight of evidence method (WoE) and the frequency ratio (FR) method to assess landslide susceptibility in this area. Seven relevant topographical, hydrological, geological, and anthropogenic factors are considered in the assessment; both methods produced fairly reliable results, but the weight of evidence method is more sensitive to the spatial variation of relevant factors.
