Geospatial databases contain geotechnical information with geographic coordinates, enabling regional-scale analysis, mapping, and risk assessment. These databases are essential for land use planning, infrastructure development, and natural hazard management.
Please contact Michele Calvello if you want to contribute databases.
Description
Geospatial datasets for use in management of landslide risk in Hong Kong.
(1) ENTLI - The Enhanced Natural Terrain Landslide Inventory (ENTLI) contains information on the distribution of about 109,300 natural terrain landslides throughout Hong Kong. The ENTLI Landslides were identified solely from available aerial photographs taken for the years 1924 to 2013 inclusive. No field validation was undertaken.
(2) Geological Map - This is a 1:200 000 scale simplified geological map of Hong Kong. It depicts the simplified solid and superficial geology of the territory, including descriptions of major lithological units and faults. Currently the 1:20 000 scale digital geological maps cover only Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the central portion of the New Territories (Map sheets No. 7, 11 and 15).
(3) Landslide - A comprehensive collection of the landslide incidents reported to GEO since early 1980's.
(4) Rainfall - A network comprises over 80 GEO automatic raingauges located throughout Hong Kong, which record rainfall data in 5-minute interval.
