Hello Andy,
I have checked your webpage. For the design of landslide intensity scales
with the use of GIS, I have recently heard of two research programs.
The first is prepared by Bijan Khazai and Professor Nicholas Sitar of the
University of Berkeley, California. With the use of GIS they actually
checked the seismic slope stability of an area. You can check their work
which is published on the network in the adress:
http://www2.ced.berkeley.edu:8002/
The second is prepared from M. Sakellariou et al. in the Department of
Surveying Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens. The
title of their work is "Estimation of the landslide hazard with the use of
GIS". The research was presented in the 1st Panhellenic Meeting of GIS. I
managed to find only a mail for you.

I hope you 'll find useful these information.
