Version 1.0 of the New Zealand Landslide Dam Database (NZLDD) has been collated to investigate dam formation, longevity, and stability. The database includes mapping, and/or remapping of 1036 dams, including those generated by the 2016 Kaikōura Earthquake. The NZLDD represents a significant increase in catalogued landslide dams—almost doubling the existing number of known and studied […]
Over the course of EILD project, several aerial photo and Lidar surveys were commissioned, and Digital Surface Models (DSM) generated. These data were used to map landslides that resulted from the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake and subsequent slides initiated by rainfall, as well as tracking and measuring landscape changes as mobilised debris cascades through catchments. […]
The Version 2.0 inventory contains nearly 30,000 landslides. The data contains all landslides from Version 1.0, plus additional landslides mapped from the high-resolution aerial photographs. The Version 2.0 inventory is published as points that represent the centroids of the mapped landslide source area. Version 2.0 data is available in both CSV format and in GIS Shapefile format, projected in the NZGD 2000 New Zealand Transverse Mercator coordinate system.
The dataset presented here is a compilation a global dataset of over 1100 back-analysed landslides from academic papers and reports where these parameters are reported. The data is presented as csv. files containing information on the landslide location, reference source, volume and all available empirical runout data.
