This study investigates the response mechanism of landslide deformation under reservoir water and rainfall variations through long-time on-site observations. To address the non-stationary characteristics of the time-series records, joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) is first introduced into our landslide prediction model. This model employs optimal variational mode decomposition (VMD) to obtain specific signal components with clear physical meaning, such as trend component and periodic components. Then, multi-scale response analysis between the displacement and external factors three wavelet methods was conducted. The analysis results show a 1 year primary cycle of the time series associated with the landslide evolution. The reservoir water level and rainfall show anti-phase fluctuations. The periodic displacement correlates significantly with rainfall, lagging by about two months. The reservoir water is anti-phase with the landslide displacement, preceding it by approximately three months (\u221251 \u00b1 8\u00b0 phase difference). For landslide displacement prediction, the gated recurrent units (GRU) neural network model is integrated into the deep learning forecasting architecture. The model takes into account the correlation and hysteresis effect of input variables. Through six experiments, we investigate the effect of data volume on model predictions to determine the optimal model. The results demonstrate that our proposed model ensures high performance in landslide prediction. Moreover, a comparison with six other intelligent algorithms shows the advantages of our model in terms of time-effectiveness and long-sequence forecasting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15163995","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T10:33:23Z","timestamp":1691750003000},"page":"3995","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Multi-Scale Response Analysis and Displacement Prediction of Landslides Using Deep Learning with JTFA: A Case Study in the Three Gorges Reservoir, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0637-2978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanan","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth Sciences, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geological Hazard Prevention and Geological Environment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology Service Center of Surveying and Mapping, Sichuan Bureau of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Chengdu 610081, China"},{"name":"School of Resources and Environment, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 610054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huiyuan","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geological Hazard Prevention and Geological Environment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xing","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geological Hazard Prevention and Geological Environment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9181-1818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhong","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huffington Department of Earth Sciences, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX 75275, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jrmge.2016.08.001","article-title":"Reservoir-Induced Landslides and Risk Control in Three Gorges Project on Yangtze River, China","volume":"8","author":"Yin","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
