Map based index (GeoIndex) landslides

Information for this layer of the map based index (GeoIndex) is taken from the BGS National Landslide Database (NLD), which holds over 15000 records of landslides and is the definitive source of landslide information for Great Britain (excludes Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands). Each landslide within the National Landslide Database is identified by a National Landslide Database ID number and a point location, as shown on this map. The National Landslide Database ID number represents an individual survey of a landslide, rather than just the landslide itself. This is because there could be several phases of movement within or extensions to the same landslide, particularly if it is a large and complex one. Subsequent surveys of the same landslide may be recorded in the database with the same National Landslide Database ID number but with a new Survey Number. Other information given for each record include; Landslide name, grid reference and whether the landslide record has been validated by the BGS Landslides Team. The point symbols at the designated location do not reflect the size and shape of the corresponding landslide, but just denote the recorded presence of a landslide within a range of accuracy.

Statement: Information for this layer of the GeoIndex is taken from the National Landslide Database of Great Britain. Database design was constructed aound the requirements of landslide description by internationally agreed standards (World Landslide Inventory) and extant datasets. Design was by BGS staff, with development of the database continuing between 2001-2004. Database has incorporated other databases with various data formats and qualities, mostly with very little Metadata. Records from defunct databases have been incorporated into this database and are undergoing systematic upgrade to new BGS Corporate Standards.
