Global Landslide Hazard Map

The Global Landslide hazard map is a gridded dataset of landslide hazard produced at the global scale. Landslides happen around the world and have devastating impacts on people and the built environment. The dataset comprises gridded maps of estimated annual frequency of significant landslides per square kilometre. Significant landslides are those which are likely to have been reported had they occurred in a populated place; limited information on reported landslide size makes it difficult to tie frequencies to size ranges but broadly speaking would be at least greater than 100 m2. The data provides frequency estimates for each grid cell on land between 60°S and 72°N for landslides triggered by seismicity and rainfall. Applications of this dataset include improved hazard screening based on frequency and severity, consistent national, regional and global scale exposure assessment, estimates of annual expected impact on population and the built environment.
