The study looked at how the Laoshewo landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area is affected by factors like rainfall and reservoir water levels. By analyzing the data, researchers found that the landslide deformation process can be divided into three stages based on k-means clustering. They also discovered that the amount of displacement in the landslide is closely linked to the amount of rainfall and the water level in the reservoir. This information can help predict and forecast landslides in the area.
