This project is dedicated to compiling and sharing event data on mass movements across Austria. The goal is to provide researchers with accessible information to accelerate their work.
By consolidating data from various national and international sources, we provide a PostGIS data base that can be easily setup using Docker.
Warning
This project is under active development. The data base 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 data base 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)
- Land Kärnten (Carinthia) CC BY 4.0 (link)
Note
Each record in the data base 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 data base stores a classification for each event and includes multiple types of mass-movement phenomena. Types present are:
- gravity slide or flow
- rockfall
- mass movement (undefined)
- deep‑seated rock slope deformation
- collapse / sinkhole
Contributions are always welcome! 😊 Please refer to the Contribution Guidelines for more details on how to setup your development environment.
This work has been funded by Land Tirol.
