Landslide Science
Manage · rules
Each rule is a Python function that computes a single column from other columns on the landslide record. The function source itself is shown on the rule detail page — it's the canonical definition (no separate prose can drift). Click a rule to see proposed changes and apply them across the whole inventory.
