QUIN 2.0 - new release of the QUaternary fault strain INdicators database from the Southern Apennines of Italy

Abstract: QUIN database integrates and organizes structural-geological information from published and
unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies. The initial release, QUIN1.0,
comprised 3,339 Fault Striation Pairs, mapped on 445 sites exposed along the Quaternary faults of
central Italy. The present Data Descriptor introduces the QUIN 2.0 release, which includes 4,297 Fault
Striation Pairs on 738 Structural Sites from southern Italy. The newly investigated faults span ~500 km
along the Apennines chain, with strikes transitioning from ~SE to ~SW and comprehensively details
Fault Striation Pairs’ location, attitude, kinematics, and deformation axes. Additionally, it offers a
shapefile of the fault traces hosting the data. The QUIN 2.0 release offers a significant geographic
extension to the QUIN 1.0, with comprehensive description of local geometric-kinematic complexities
of the regional pattern. The QUIN data may be especially relevant for constraining intra-Apennine
potential seismogenic deformation patterns, where earthquake data only offer scattered or incomplete
information. QUIN’s data will support studies aimed at enhancing geological understanding, hazard
assessment and comprehension of fault rupture propagation and barriers
