Summary

Landslides are damaging and deadly, and they occur in every U.S. state. However, our current ability to understand landslide hazards at the national scale is limited, in part because spatial data on landslide occurrence across the U.S. varies greatly in quality, accessibility, and extent. Landslide inventories are typically collected and maintained by different agencies and institutions, usually within specific jurisdictional boundaries, and often with varied objectives and information attributes or even in disparate formats. The purpose of this data release is to provide an openly accessible, centralized map of existing information on landslide occurrence across the entire U.S. The data release includes digital inventories created [...]

Purpose

This project compiled data on landslide occurrence within the U.S. into a searchable, web-based map interface that can be used by researchers, emergency planners, and the public. This interface enhances access to landslide information and facilitates future integration of other interdisciplinary spatial data into national scale risk assessment products.
