The European Database of Seismogenic Faults (EDSF) was designed as a "work in progress" and, as such, it is open to later additions and improvements. Due to its intrinsic nature, EDSF cannot be guaranteed to be complete, accurate, and updated in any part and will be subjected to successive revisions. Although we make every possible effort to supply the best available information, no warranty, expressed or implied, is provided regarding the accuracy and reliability of the data supplied in EDSF. Users are invited to consider the inherent epistemic uncertainty of such a database in earthquake-related hazard analyses (PSHA, PTHA, PFDHA). We recall that EDSF was designed for analyses at the scale of a continent (the Euro-Mediterranean region) and that it is thus necessary to add local and site-specific investigations when using EDSF data for studies at more local scales. Users are also cautioned to carefully consider the nature of EDSF content before using it for decisions concerning personal or public safety or in relation to business involving substantial financial or operational consequences.

The data distributed here were prepared by researchers of Project SHARE, Work Package 3, coordinated by Gianluca Valensise, Task 2.
The Task 2 Team at INGV was formed by:

• Roberto Basili: task leader
• Vanja Kastelic: data collection and analysis
• Gabriele Tarabusi: database management and programming
• Anna De Santis: system manager

The SHARE, WP3, Deliverable D3.4, illustrates the EDSF13 basic definitions, the database rationale, structure, and data collection strategy as originally conceived.

European Database of Seismogenic Faults 2013 (EDSF13)

The European Database of Seismogenic Faults (EDSF) was compiled in the framework of the EU Project SHARE, Work Package 3, Task 3.2. EDSF includes only faults that are deemed to be capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude equal to or larger than 5.5 and aims at ensuring a homogeneous input for use in ground-shaking hazard assessment in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Several research institutions participated in this effort with the contribution of many scientists (see the Database section for a full list). The EDSF database and website are hosted and maintained by INGV.
