The photos contain the disaster spots and work photos of the scientific research every day (Juue 15th, 2021-July 24 6th, 2021), and the questionnaire of each disaster spot (including landslide, collapse, debris flow, etc.). The disaster spots recorded every day are marked on the map, converted into KMZ format, and the distribution of disaster spots in the scientific research area is analyzed on GIS. The distribution of disaster points shows that rainfall-induced landslide, debirs flow and rockfall, flash flood disaster points are major located along along the eastern route and the intensity are dense in there. In addition, the transportation infrastructure and popultion are relative densely distributed along the earstern route, may be resulte in high comprehensively disaster risk.In the western route, there are major distributed sand disaster, also mass movement disasters such as landslde and rockfall. The above pictures, vedios, disaster point map and route map are recorded. The above data are intuitive data for researching scientific expeditions, also are the key input data and examine data. In addition, they are fundamental significance for objectively judging the types and distribution of disasters in the scientific expedition area, as well as disaster prevention and mitigation measures.

File naming and required software

File naming: scientific research photos are sorted and stored in text format; The name of the document is: field scientific research data on June x, such as field scientific research data on June 25. (including JPG, docx, KMZ, xlsx). Data reading method: photos can be opened and used by picture browsing software. Disaster point distribution map and scientific research roadmap can be opened and used by ArcGIS software or Google Earth software, and scientific research log and other text files can be opened and used by WPS or word.
