Preliminary Canadian Landslide Database

This preliminary landslide database includes 10,134 features with assigned landslide and material (surficial vs. rock) type. Where known, the date of occurrence, trigger, contributing factor, and reference are provided. The landslides have mostly been identified using Google Earth and publicly available lidar. Previously published landslide databases have also been incorporated and referenced. Landslide type attribution should be considered preliminary. Version 9.0 includes the addition of over 1000 landslide features over version 8.0. Highlights of this version include the addition of approximately 700 post-wildfire landslides from various wildfires in British Columbia. As part of ongoing data QA/QC, point locations for the debris avalanche, debris slides, mountain slope deformation, rock avalanche, rock complex, and rock fall entries were reviewed and in some cases adjusted. Data is provided as .csv file which can be imported in GIS software and as .kmz file for visualization in Goggle Earth. Summary statistics are provided in a separate spreadsheet.
