A global landslide catalog for hazard applications: method, results, and limitations
Entry ID:
NASA_GSFC_TRMM_LANDSLIDE_INVENTORY
Summary
Abstract:
A systematic inventory of landslide events over the globe is valuable for estimating human and economic losses, quantifying the relationship between landslide occurrences and climate variations and for evaluating emerging global landslide prediction efforts based on remote sensing data. This study compiles a landslide catalog for rainfall triggered events for several years, drawing upon news reports, scholarly articles, and other hazard databases to provide a landslide catalog at the global scale. While this database may only represent a subset of rainfall-triggered landslides globally, due to lack of reports, it presents a lower boundary on the number of events globally and provides initial insight into the spatial/temporal statistical trends in landslide distribution and impact.
