Kaikoura Earthquake Landslide Inventory

The Mw 7.8 Kaikoura, New Zealand earthquake occurred on November 13, 2016 and induced significant landslides across the mesoseismoal area. The Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association organized a reconnaissance team to investigate the event, and part of that team was focused on the landslide effects. The GEER team assessed the spatial distribution of landslides rapidly after the earthquake using available optical imagery and visual identification techniques. The goal was to develop within days a detailed landslide inventory that could be used to guide response and reconnaissance efforts. This project contains the developed landslide inventory and describes the process used to create the inventory. The project contents are summarized in the README file.
