Popis: Abstract The extreme meteorological events caused by climate change have increasingly caused serious clustered landslides. A systematic and timely inventory of triggered landslides is a prerequisite for quantifying and evaluating the impact of extreme meteorological events. In addition, a landslide inventory can provide basic data for any subsequent analysis of the event or be used innovatively in landslide risk analysis. The Rainfall-induced Landslides in Beijing (RLBJ) inventory presented here contains data on 15,383 rainfall-induced shallow landslides triggered by a single extreme precipitation event in July 2023 in an area of ~3,250 km2 in western mountainous areas of Beijing, China. High-resolution satellite images before and after this rainstorm event were used to visually analyze the landslides. All landslides were reported as vectorized points and polygon features and classified according to their motion forms. This inventory is now freely available for the benefit of international geohazard researchers.
