World Landslide Forum 7 · Field Atlas
Landslide investigations across India, 2009–present
The Amrita WCE‑LRR has walked, measured and mapped landslide terrain across ten states — 104 sites, from the eastern Himalaya to the Western Ghats. Select a state on the map to explore its geology, failure mechanisms, and field-documented sites.

Site Inventory
Every site was visited and assessed in the field by researchers from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham's World Centre of Excellence on Landslide Risk Reduction (WCE‑LRR), recognised under the UNESCO Chair on Experiential Learning for Sustainable Innovation and Development. Each entry follows a consistent data structure: a unique code (Ls1–Ls93), GPS coordinates reconciled from field records, landslide classification, and the triggering event date where known.
Sites span debris slides, debris flows, rockfalls, creep movements and catastrophic multi-wave landslides — including some of the most consequential disasters in recent Indian history. Several locations host permanent Deformation and Early-warning Platforms (DEPs) with geophones and rainfall gauges for long-term slope monitoring.
