The dataset comprises the 2016 Kaikōura Landslide Inventory (Version 3). Landslides were triggered by the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake and were captured using post-earthquake Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) surveys, 0.3 m ground resolution orthorectified air photography and derived digital surface models. Landslide polygons were manually digitized into a Geographic Information System.
The inventory contains 31,623 landslide source area polygons and 26,559 debris trail polygons. The mapped coseismic landslides are inferred to have been triggered by the 14 November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake and associated aftershocks, collected for the research purposes. This is version 3 of the landslide inventory.
