Proceedings of the 12th International INQUA meeting on paleoseismology, active tectonic and archaeoseismology

Fig. 1: Map of the 16 Faults in Central Apennines (Lombardi et al., submitted). Yellow squares mark paleoseismic trench sites published until year 2021. Open black squares mark historical earthquakes in the study area (Rovida et al. 2020). Paleoearthquakes dataset Using the paleoseismological trenching data for 16 faults in Central Italy (Figure 1) published until year 2021, we built a new database of surface faulting earthquakes. This new compilation differs from the previous ones presented in Cinti et al. (2021), as account for the native records of trench data. We reviewed the “Original” data in the published papers when the data from individual trenches are presented as merged by mean of disaggregation procedure, to avoid bias in the rupture history given by the author’s trench data correlation. The resulting dataset comprises 16 faults, 67 trenches, and 198 individual trench paleoearthquakes.
