The goal of this project was to create a JavaScript-based dashboard on landslides based on the the Global Landslide Catalog (GLC). The dataset was extracted from the NASA's Open Data Portal. The dataset was exported once then maintained separately. It is current as of March 7, 2016. The GLC considers all types of mass movements triggered by rainfall, which have been reported in the media, disaster databases, scientific reports, or other sources. The GLC has been compiled since 2007 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
