Connecting diverse landslide inventories for improved landslide information in Australia

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The evolution of the Australian Landslide Database (ALD) was driven by the need for a nationally consistent system of data collection in order to develop a sound knowledge base on landslide hazard and inform landslide mitigation strategies. The use of 'networked service-oriented interoperability' to connect disparate landslide inventories into a single 'virtual' national database, promotes a culture of working together and sharing data to ensure landslide information is easily accessible and discoverable to those who need it.
