Future landslides hazard dataset

A global dataset at 0.1° resolution of three landslide hazard indicators from five climate models under three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). The time resolution is annual from 1981 to 2100.

Landslides dataset specifications

Specification	Description
Experiment	CMIP6
Scenarios	Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP5-8.5, SSP2-4.5 and SSP1-2.6.
Climate models	The 5 models selected by the ISIMIP initiative: IPSL-CM6A-LR, GFDL-ESM4, UKESM1-0-LL, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, MRI-ESM2-0.
Spatial resolution	0.1° x 0.1° Global
Temporal resolution	Annual from 1981 to 2100
Indicators	The hazard indicators are based on NASA’s LHASA model: Moderate hazard: Annual count of days with potential landslide occurrence over moderate hazard locations. The unit is days. High hazard: Annual count of days with potential landslide occurrence over high hazard locations. The unit is days. Very high hazard: Annual count of days with potential landslide occurrence over very high hazard locations. The unit is days.
Format	NetCDF

Supplementary information

The indicator is a danger category based index used by NASA to provide near-real-time evaluation of potential rainfall triggered landslide events through global nowcasts. The future indicators represent the number of days with potential event occurrences at global locations classified into one of five susceptibility categories: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high.
