Maintenance and Enrichment of the Kentucky Geological Survey Landslide Inventory

Wednesday September 30, 2026 TBA

Geologic hazard databases can be powerful tools for data analysis and research, providing insight into high-hazard areas, infrastructure impact, risk reduction, and weather context associated with landslides. The strength of this research depends on data quality and consistency. To meet these needs, the Kentucky Geological Survey Landslide Inventory has recently undergone significant additions and updates, including utilization of outside data sources such as public reports and social media. The inventory now contains multiple GIS layers, including mapped landslide extents (polygons), additional points, and landslides associated with specific storms. We have standardized attributes across the datasets to facilitate and improve the inventory’s usability. Public access to the inventory supports the work of multiple stakeholders, such as emergency managers, planners, and researchers. Maintenance and growth of this inventory are crucial to support landslide research within Kentucky.
