Overview

This data set projects the daily hazard of rainfall-triggered landslides in the High Mountain Asia region from 2015 through 2100, at 5 km resolution. Projections are provided for two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)—SSP2-4.5 and SSP5 8.5—based on downscaled temperature and precipitation projections from a 30-member ensemble climate model. Landslide hazard is represented by a landslide hazard indicator (LHI), computed with a machine learning (ML) model trained on historical temperatures and precipitation from 1990 through 2019 and a catalog of documented landslides. Two historical LHI data sets are also available: the ML model LHIs generated for 1990 through 2019; and retrodicted LHIs computed by inputting downscaled temperatures and precipitation for 1990 through 2014 to the ensemble climate model.
