EGS Landslide Density Database
The first layer is a Landslide density map (LANDEN). The second layer is an average landslide density for each administrative area. A detailed explanation of these layers can be found in: Herrera, G., Mateos, R. M., García-Davalillo, J. C., Grandjean, G., Poyiadji, E., Maftei, R., ... and Trigila, A. (2017).

Data Quality
Landslide density Database: The available landsliderecords where transformed into a point layer. Landslides mapped as polygons were converted into points calculating their centroids. The 1-km reference grid from the European Environment Agency (EEA) was used to calculate the landslide density for every 1km2. Landslide density for each administrative area: The average landslide density per administrative area is calculated using the municipal administrative boundaries provided by 10 Geological Surveys, and for the other 7, the lowest administrative level avaliable from the Global Administrative Areas (GADM 2015) is used.
