Overview
This data set is an inventory of some 2800 landslides that occurred in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) study area between 5 January 2007 and 31 December 2018 (plus one event from 28 January 1990). The catalog includes dates and locations of landslides, plus additional characteristics such as event triggers, country, length and area of the slide, and the number of injuries and fatalities.
The events in this catalog represent an HMA-specific subset of the Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR), a project that was created to build a more robust, publicly available inventory of landslides by supplementing data in the NASA Global Landslide Catalog with citizen science reports.
