Alaska landslide inventory database

Metadata Updated: September 27, 2025

Alaska landslide inventory database, Digital Data Series 23, provides a catalog of slope instabilities across Alaska and documents the development of the Alaska Landslide Inventory (ALI), a geospatial database created by the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) under the State's Landslide Hazards Program. Initiated in response to recent catastrophic landslides, the ALI consolidates both published and newly identified landslide events, including those reported in media sources and interpreted from aerial imagery. Each entry is classified by movement type (e.g., slides, flows, thaw-related) and includes metadata such as event date, kinematic features, and confidence intervals. The inventory is designed to support hazard assessment, land-use planning, and risk mitigation efforts, and will be integrated into the national U.S. Landslide Inventory. This report outlines the methodology used to compile the database, discusses current limitations, and identifies future goals for expanding coverage, refining classifications, and improving data completeness. The ALI is intended for regional or community-scale analysis and is not suitable for site-specific or legal use. This data is released with an open end-user license. All files can be downloaded from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/31697).
