This raster represents a continuous composite susceptibility surface based on two SPAL indicators: MADZ-derived regolith activity (i.e. landscape structural instability indicating geological risk) and the OLF (indicating sediment runoff) index. Equal weighting was applied to both inputs:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Composite Score = 0.5 × Activity + 0.5 × OLF<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>The resulting surface was scaled from approximately 1.32 to 4.95 (higher values = higher susceptibility), yielding a continuous measure of erosion susceptibility across the landscape. This supports prioritisation and interpretation at fine spatial resolution.<\/SPAN><\/P>
