High Mountain Asia Multitemporal Landslide Inventories, Version 1

The mountains of Nepal are one of the most hazardous environments in the world, with frequent landslides caused by tectonic activity, extreme rainfall and infrastructure development. As a landlocked country, Nepal relies on proper functioning of major transportation networks such as the highways to sustain and improve the livelihoods of the population. Every year there are reports of landslides blocking the highways, especially during the rainy season; however, the frequency and location of landslides along the highway corridors are not well reported. RapidEye satellite imagery was used to create annual landslide initiation point inventories along three important highways in Nepal: the Arniko, Karnali, and Pasang Lhamu highway.尼泊尔境内的山地是全球最具危险性的环境之一，构造活动、极端降雨与基础设施开发共同导致该区域滑坡频发。作为内陆国家，尼泊尔依托高速公路等核心交通网络的正常运转，以维系并改善国民生计。每年均有滑坡阻断高速公路的相关报道，尤以雨季为甚；但公路沿线滑坡的发生频率与具体位置却鲜有系统记录。本数据集借助快速眼（RapidEye）卫星影像，针对尼泊尔境内三条重要高速公路——阿尼科公路（Arniko Highway）、卡尔纳利公路（Karnali Highway）与帕桑拉穆公路（Pasang Lhamu Highway），构建了年度滑坡起始点清单。
