About this dataset

  • This is a historical GLC archive, not the current COOLR service. The selected event dates are in 2007 through 2017.
  • The catalogue compiles reported landslides. It can miss events where reporting or source access was limited.
  • Each point is a reported event location. Use the location accuracy field before you compare sites at a local scale.
  • Use date, category, and trigger to group historical events. The points do not define landslide risk zones.
  • The archive was retrieved on 15 September 2026. Text descriptions and photographs from external reports are not included.
