Comprehensive earthquake-induced landslide inventory dataset of the 2010 Chile megathrust earthquake

Chile is one of the most seismically active countries on Earth and is often associated with cascading hazards, such as ground shaking, liquefaction, tsunamis, and coseismic landslides. Additionally, removal mass is a global hazard with devastating impacts resulting in thousands of fatalities every year, substantial economic losses, and long-term economic disruption. The dataset described in this article consists of a comprehensive landslide inventory for the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake between 32.5° S and 38.5° S°. There are 1226 landslides over a mapped c.120,500 km2 (1059 disrupted slides, 110 flows, 49 lateral spreads and eight coherent slides). The dataset was collected from bibliographic compilation, mapping by interpretation of Landsat satellite images, and field inspections. This data can be used as input in earthquake-induced landslide susceptibility models to help predict coseismic landslide occurrences after megathrust earthquakes and inform land use planning processes incorporating cascading hazard management and prevention.
