About this dataset

Date of Images: Dates used for landslide mapping: April 20, 2024; April 21, 2024; May 6, 2024; May 7, 2024; May 8, 2024 Dates of Planet Imagery: 4/20/2023, 5/6/2024, 5/7/2024 Summary: The NASA GSFC landslides team manually mapped landslide initiation points after the April 29, 2024 heavy rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. The landslide initiation points were derived from PlanetScope imagery. This is only a portion of the region where landslides occurred, and areas covered with clouds were not included. More landslides will be mapped in coming days. NOTE: This is a rapid response product. These landslides were manually mapped using different dates of PlanetScope imagery, but all are presumed to have been triggered by the 4/29/2024 heavy rainfall event. As clouds cleared, more landslides were identified. This PlanetScope imagery captured by Planet Labs Inc. in May 2024 shows landslides following the heavy rainfall in Brasil. True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. The True Color RGB s produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.

(EXERCISE - DaNCE March 2026) Landslide Polygons (Planet) for the Brazil Flood, May 2024

Dates of Images: 5/6/2024 Summary: The NASA GSFC landslides team produced this landslide polygon map. The landslide map was produced automatically from Planet imagery using the prototype Global Landslide Detection for Rapid response (GLiDEr) system, currently under development as a joint effort between the NASA GSFC landslides team and Data Science group. Pre-event imagery = mosaic of images from 04/20/2024 and 04/21/2024 Post-event imagery = mosaic of images from 05/05/2024 and 05/06/2024 This map has undergone manual false positive removal, but we have not corrected erroneous landslide areas, added missed landslides and resolved amalgamation. Suggested Use: This map can be used to identify location and size of landslides. For landslide mapping extent, refer to the mapping_AOI layer.

(EXERCISE - DaNCE March 2026) Landslide Hazard Nowcast and Exposure (LHASA) for the Brazil Flood May 2024

LHASA version 2 adopts machine learning to estimate the probability of landslide occurrence at a 30-arcsecond (~1 km) daily resolution. In addition, it estimates the potential exposure of human population and roads to landslide hazard and maps the basins likely to experience post-fire debris flows. Suggested Use: The global landslide nowcast shows where landslide hazard is highest on a given date. Resolution: ~1km Credits: Please cite: Stanley T. A., J. R. Sutton, R. S. Vershel, P. M.

The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred. The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that can provides value in flood detection. Areas of water will appear blue, healthy green vegetation will appear as a bright green, urban areas in various shades of magenta, snow will appear as a bright blue/cyan, and bare soils being multicolor dependent on their makeup. Compare pre-event imagery to post-event imagery to identify potential flooding. A Color Infrared composite depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue.
