All mapped landslides were those visible in the landscape during the period 2017 – 2018. Landslides were mapped using a combination of field and remote sensing methodologies (see lineage). The inventory includes the landslide locations, perimeters (Length field), areas, types (for field mapped landslides), and whether a given landslide was mapped in the field or remotely (source field). These landslides were mapped for a range of purposes, from conducting landslide susceptibility assessments, to investigating landslide processes and preconditioning.

Field mapped landslides were identified during walk-over surveys conducted in October 2019. The locations and geometries of these landslides were recorded using a hand-held Garmin GPS unit and a TruPulse laser range finder. The exact geometries of these field-observed landslides were then corroborated using high resolution CNES/Airbus imagery from 2017 obtained from GoogleEarthPro. Furthermore, as not all landslides were accessible in the field, additional landslides in the landscape were mapped from the CNES/Airbus imagery alone, where all visible landslides in the imagery were delineated as polygons that included the source, runout and deposition zones of each landslide. For the field-mapped landslides, the landslide type was classified according to the terminology of Varnes (1958).
