New Zealand Landslide Dam Database Version 1.0 (NZLDD V1)

Version 1.0 of the New Zealand (NZ) Landslide Dam Database (NZLDD) has been developed by GNS Science and contains recent, historic and prehistoric landslide dams in NZ, defined as significant, ephemeral or enduring blockages of a watercourse by a landslide. Note that Debris Trail and Dam, as mapped here, together comprise the landslide deposit, with the Dam limited to the part of the deposit damming its respective watercourse, i.e., the deposit that lies within the valley bottom. Version 1.0 contains many catalogued landslide dams, but is not a complete database of all landslide dams that have ever occurred in NZ. The database comprises five spatial datasets in New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000) projection and one table.


The database together with a full description of the data has been published by Morgenstern et al. (2023) (accessed from https://doi.org/10.1007/s10346-023-02133-4 ) and can be downloaded as an ArcGIS geodatabase from https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NW6MT

Purpose

This dataset has been developed by GNS Science and comprises Version 1.0 of the New Zealand (NZ) Landslide Dam Database (NZLDD). The database contains recent, historic and prehistoric landslide dams in NZ, defined as significant, ephemeral or enduring blockages of a watercourse by a landslide. Version 1.0 contains many catalogued landslide dams, but is not a complete database of all landslide dams that have ever occurred in NZ. A full description of the database is published alongside these data (Morgenstern et al., 2023).
