A severe landslide event in the Alpine foreland under possible future climate and land-use changes

The area affected by a landslide analogous to an Alpine foreland event in 2009 could be up to 45% larger under 4 K of global warming, or 10% if warming is limited in line with the Paris Agreement, according to simulations of event storylines with varying climate, soil moisture and land use.
