Global Landslide Catalog: The NASA Goddard (1970-2019)
Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) was developed with the goal of identifying rainfall-induced landslide events around the world, regardless of size, impact, or location. The GLC considers all types of rainfall-induced mass movements reported in the media, hazard databases, scientific reports, or other sources. The GLC has been compiled at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center since 2007. This is a unique dataset with an ID tag of "GLC" in the landslide editor.
Landslides refer to geological disasters caused by the sliding of the mountain soil layer caused by hydrogeological or other factors inside the mountain. It usually occurs on steep slopes or hills because the slopes in these areas are relatively steep, the soil is less viscous, and factors such as uneven rock texture make the mountain slide easily. Landslides often destroy roads, buildings and other infrastructure, and pose a threat to people and property, so monitoring, early warning, prevention and emergency measures need to be taken in time.
