Preliminary Canadian Landslide Database

This preliminary landslide database lists 3635 features with assigned landslide and material type (surficial vs. rock). Where known, the date of occurrence, trigger, and reference are provided. The landslides have mostly been identified using Google Earth and publicly available lidar. Previously published landslide database have also been incorporated and referenced. Landslide type attribution should be considered preliminary. Version 3.0 includes the addition of approximately 635 landslide features over version 2.0. This version also adds a unique landslide identifier (LS####) as attribute and the use of deep-seated permafrost landslide type due to incorporation of work by Young et al. 2022. Recent Intensification (2004-2020) of permafrost mass-wasting in the central Mackenzie Valley Foothills is a legacy of past forest fire disturbance. Geophysical Research Letters 10.1029/2022GL100559. Data is provided as .csv file which can be imported in GIS software and as .kmz file for visualization in Goggle Earth.
