Taking the Sichuan\u2013Tibet railway as the study area and based on Landsat8 thermal infrared images, map data, and measured data regarding the cause and distribution of geothermal high-temperature anomalies, through correlation analysis, we selected six impact factors including the LST, combined entropy of geological formation, fault density, buffer distance to rivers, magnetic anomaly, and earthquake peak acceleration as the input maps of the model. The index-overlay information model, the weights of the entropy information model, and the weights of the evidence information model were established to quantitatively predict the geothermal anomaly in the study area, and the prediction maps were divided into four classes. The results show that the weights of the evidence information model achieved a high prediction accuracy; the success index and the ratio of the high anomaly area reached 0.0053% and 0.872, respectively, and the spatial distribution of the geothermal points is basically consistent with the prediction results. This research can act as a reference for the design and construction of the Sichuan\u2013Tibet railway.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13091606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,21]],"date-time":"2021-04-21T21:25:10Z","timestamp":1619040310000},"page":"1606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Weighted Information Models for the Quantitative Prediction and Evaluation of the Geothermal Anomaly Area in the Plateau: A Case Study of the Sichuan\u2013Tibet Railway"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2593-1149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenbo","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, No.19(A) Yuquan Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Science and Resources, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Land and Resources Information Research and Development, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co.
