This study presents a detailed inventory database of landslides in the Alborz Mountains, compiled through a combination of satellite imagery, historical records, aerial photographs, and field surveys. The database encompasses critical information on the location, type, size, mechanism, and triggering factors of landslides, alongside their environmental and societal impacts. Covering an area of approximately 2,500 km², the inventory documents 2,984 recorded landslides. To ensure accessibility and usability, the dataset is provided in a standardized format, complete with metadata and quality control details, facilitating its application and reuse by researchers and practitioners. This comprehensive resource is designed to support a wide range of applications, including landslide susceptibility mapping, hazard assessment, and land-use planning. The database serves as a crucial tool for improving the management of landslide risks in the Alborz Mountains and comparable regions. By offering a reliable and organized compilation of data, it aids in identifying vulnerable areas, assessing hazards, and guiding sustainable land-use strategies. Additionally, the dataset promotes collaboration and data sharing within the scientific community, enabling further research and development in landslide risk management. This initiative underscores the importance of data-driven approaches to natural hazard mitigation and highlights the potential societal benefits of open and reusable research data. The inventory represents a significant step toward enhancing our understanding of landslide dynamics and fostering resilience in regions prone to such geological hazards.
