Preliminary Canadian Landslide Database
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This preliminary landslide database includes 8302 features with assigned landslide and material (surficial vs. rock) type. Where known, the date of occurrence, trigger, contributing factor, and reference are provided. The landslides have mostly been identified using Google Earth and publicly available lidar. Previously published landslide databases have also been incorporated and referenced. Landslide type attribution should be considered preliminary. Version 7.0 includes the addition of 1800 landslide features over version 6.1. This version marks the addition of Carie-Ann Lau (inventory of landslides associated with the November 2021 atmospheric river in southwestern British Columbia) and Derek Cronmiller (inventory of landslides associated with the September 2022 rainstorm in western Yukon) as co-authors. Data are provided as .csv file which can be imported in GIS software and as .kmz file for visualization in Goggle Earth. Summary statistics are provided in a separate spreadsheet.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
