Landslide Susceptibility Geospatial Layers for Road Corridors in Panama

Dereck Mbeh Petiangma published a 14.8 MB dataset package on 2026-04-14. The collection includes geospatial layers such as a DEM, landslide inventory, geology, faultlines, soil depth, extreme rainfall, and OpenStreetMap features. All data is clipped to a 1000-meter buffer around road corridors in Bocas del Toro and Chiriquí, Panama.

Use Cases

• Replicate an Integrated Frequency Ratio–Maximum Entropy ensemble model based on the provided geospatial layers.
• Conduct related hazard or environmental studies based on the geology, faultlines, and soil depth data.
• Analyze infrastructure resilience for road corridors based on the clipped buffer and extreme rainfall data.
• Perform spatial analysis for landslide risk using the provided DEM and landslide inventory.

Strengths

• Dataset is spatially focused, clipped to a 1000-meter buffer around the target road corridors.
• Includes multiple thematic layers (e.g., DEM, geology, rainfall) for ensemble modeling.
• Links to original full-extent datasets are provided in the associated manuscript for reproducibility.
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
