This project aims to build the most comprehensive, open-source landslide data base for Austria. The data base encompasses different mass movement phenomena (see Classifications for more info).
By consolidating data from various national and international sources, we provide a PostGIS database that can be easily setup using Docker.
Warning
This project is under active development. The database schema and its records are subject to change.
Tip
For quick access without setting up the data base, a GeoPackage dump is
available. It contains a single table of the events and is located in the
db-dump/ directory.
To get your own instance of the database up and running, please follow the setup instructions which use Docker for easy deployment.
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide.
Documentation is available at docs.geohub.at.
The inventory is built by incorporating data from the following sources:
- GeoSphere: CC BY 4.0 (link)
- Global Fatal Landslides: Open Government License (link)
- NASA COOLR: Custom License (link)
- WLV No Limitations (link)
Note
Each record in the database is linked to its original source to ensure clear data provenance and proper attribution.
We are continuously working on adding more data sources to enhance the comprehensiveness of the inventory.
The database stores a classification for each event and includes multiple types of mass-movement phenomena, not only landslides. Types present include:
- gravity slide or flow
- rockfall
- mass movement (undefined)
- deep‑seated rock slope deformation
- collapse / sinkhole
See the classification table in the database for the set of types.
Contributions are always welcome! 😊 Please refer to the Contribution Guidelines for more details on how to setup your development environment.
