A central hub for AI-ready landslide data

Building a community-curated, open-access platform of global landslide datasets to support reliable and scalable AI models.

Recent advances in machine learning and deep learning have significantly advanced landslide-related applications, including detection, early warning, and susceptibility mapping. Generative AI further offers new opportunities to accelerate landslide research through rapid prototyping and iteration of ML/DL workflows.

However, most existing models are trained on datasets specific to certain regions or landslide types, resulting in poor or untested generalization across different geographic and environmental settings. Open-access landslide datasets remain fragmented across individual publications, institutional repositories, and project-specific websites — researchers spend substantial time locating, retrieving, and preparing data, and progress remains constrained by the lack of high-quality, high-volume, standardized, and accessible datasets.

To address this gap, TerraMosaic aggregates global landslide inventories and related geospatial data, with detailed metadata for every dataset — inventory type, record count, spatial resolution, geographic coverage, input features, ML/DL models used, evaluation settings, and whether cross-regional generalization was tested. Users can search, filter, and download datasets through an interactive map-based interface, and contribute new data via an easy-to-use upload flow. It serves as a central hub supporting the development and benchmarking of reliable, scalable, and generalizable AI models for both fundamental research and real-world applications.

Explore the system

Camera and keyboard controls

Mouse: left-drag to move; right-drag or Shift + left-drag to rotate; scroll to zoom. The Drag: move / rotate button swaps the left- and right-drag actions. Scrolling outside the landscape moves the page.

Touch: tap a site to inspect it or open ground to guide the UAV. Explore in 3D enables one-finger movement and two-finger zoom or rotation; Done exploring restores page scrolling.

With the landscape focused: arrow keys rotate, Shift + arrows move, + / − zoom and R resets. Escape closes the inspection and returns to default navigation.

The drone follows your pointer by default, including over the scene margins. Camera dragging takes priority. On pointer exit it settles and hovers; choose Auto survey for a patrol route. Pointer-guided flight remains interactive when ambient animation is paused.
