Dataset: Global Landslide Catalog

About this Dataset

Global Landslide Catalog

Hi all,

I imported this dataset from NASA for
the purpose of doing data science in understanding land slides.

The data description in the official website reads

The Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) was developed with the goal of identifying rainfall-triggered landslide events around the world, regardless of size, impacts or location. The GLC considers all types of mass movements triggered by rainfall, which have been reported in the media, disaster databases, scientific reports, or other sources. The GLC has been compiled since 2007 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This is a unique data set with the ID tag “GLC” in the landslide editor. This dataset on data.nasa.gov was a one-time export from the Global Landslide Catalog maintained separately. It is current as of March 7, 2016. The original catalog is available here: http://ojo-streamer.herokuapp.com/ To export GLC data, you must agree to the “Terms and Conditions”.

We request that anyone using the GLC cite the two sources of this database: Kirschbaum, D. B., Adler, R., Hong, Y., Hill, S., & Lerner-Lam, A. (2010). A global landslide catalog for hazard applications: method, results, and limitations. Natural Hazards, 52(3), 561–575. doi:10.1007/s11069-009-9401-4. [1]
Kirschbaum, D.B., T. Stanley, Y. Zhou (In press, 2015). Spatial and Temporal Analysis of a Global Landslide Catalog. Geomorphology. doi:10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.03.016. [2];

In general, this csv file contains details such as:

Landslide date
Landslide trigger reason: rain, downpour, cyclone etc
Landslide size: Large, medium, small
Fatality
Injured
Event country
Latitude
Longitude

I hope this data will be fun to perform data clustering, visualization and EDA.
