The geological complexity index (GCI) revolutionizes landslide risk modeling by integrating tectonic, lithologic, structural, and seismicity factors. As shown in Zhang's study, it boosts predictive accuracy over traditional methods, enhancing terrain analysis and enabling better hazard zoning for safer communities worldwide. #Geology #DisasterRiskManagement #LandslidePrediction #EarthScience
