In order to identify giant ancient landslides more effectively and to quantify the risk of giant ancient landslides, this study takes a Lengqu River section located on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau as an example and then uses the red relief image map (RRIM) method to enhance the digital elevation model (DEM) for topographic 2D visualization to identify giant ancient landslides. Then, the relationships between giant ancient landslides (GALs), resurgent GALs, the deposition of inactive GALs and the excess topography of hillslopes under 30° threshold are analyzed separately. A total of 54 GALs are identified at last by using the RRIM method; 77.75% of GALs are still located on excess topography, 68.38% of resurgent GALs occurred on excess topography, and 62.21% of the deposition of inactive GALs are on non-excess topography. The RRIM method provides a new way to identify giant ancient landslides. The excess topography provides an indication of the risk of new landslides through the destructive effect of GALs on the threshold hillslope, and the preliminary investigation of the quantitative relationship between the resurrection of GALs and excess topography also shows that there is a certain pattern between the resurrection of GALs and the excess topography under the natural state, so the excess topography has a certain indication of the generation of new landslides and secondary resurrection at the original GAL positions. |
