Hydrological, geotechnical, and landslide mapping data from the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon to support physics-based modeling of postfire shallow landslides
This data release contains (1) geotechnical reports describing colluvium strength and grain size distribution, (2) hydrological monitoring data (rainfall and soil volumetric water content), and (3) shapefiles of mapped landslides from 1996 and 2021 that occurred in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. The geotechnical reports describe test results from a sieve and hydrometer analysis (ASTM D422) to characterize the grain size distribution and from consolidated drained direct shear tests (ASTM D3080) to characterize soil shear strength. Hydrological data includes a time history of rainfall and volumetric water content from a monitoring station in the Columbia River Gorge, spanning 10/28/2022 to 2/13/2023. The mapped landslide shapefiles represent shallow landslide source areas, assumed to have failed during storms in 1996 and 2021.
