Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in four study areas in the Utuado Municipality, Puerto Rico Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in four study areas in the Utuado Municipality, Puerto Rico
In late September 2017, intense precipitation associated with Hurricane Maria caused extensive landsliding across Puerto Rico. Much of the Utuado municipality in central Puerto Rico was severely impacted by landslides. Landslide density in this region was mapped as greater than 25 landslides/km2 (Bessette-Kirton et al., 2019). In order to better understand the controlling variables of...
Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in a section of Naranjito, Puerto Rico Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in a section of Naranjito, Puerto Rico
Hurricane Maria caused widespread landsliding throughout Puerto Rico during September 2017. Previous detailed landslide inventories following the hurricane include Bessette-Kirton et al. (2017, 2019). Here we continue that work with an in-depth look at a portion of northwest Naranjito, which is a municipality in the northeastern part of the main island. To study a characteristic sample...
Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in three study areas in the Lares Municipality, Puerto Rico Map data from landslides triggered by Hurricane Maria in three study areas in the Lares Municipality, Puerto Rico
In late September 2017, intense precipitation associated with Hurricane Maria caused extensive landsliding across Puerto Rico. Much of the Lares municipality in central-western Puerto Rico was severely impacted by landslides. Landslide density in this region was mapped as greater than 25 landslides/km2 (Bessette-Kirton et al., 2019). In order to better understand the controlling...
