Physically based model which maps patterns of potential instability based on topographic & hydrologic conditions. For details on the model, see...
Montgomery, D.R., and W.E. Dietrich, 1994. A physically-based model for the topographic control on shallow landsliding. Water Resources Research. 30:1153-1171.
This version takes several soil and topographic parameters and calulates critical steady state rainfall as a measure of relative instability.
