Abstract

Landslides are not easy to inventory. They can occur over a wide range of velocities, at different scales, and in a variety of materials. Factors that present challenges for landslide inventories include the following attributes: type, state of activity, age, size, detectibility, geometry, and complexity. The purpose of the inventory should govern the type of mapping method used. For example, cataloging damage after a single event storm, requires a different inventory and mapping system than that used for for corridor studies, for general slope stability mapping, or for sediment delivery to streams.
