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.

Mapping of paleo-surface ruptures, offsets, and lithological separations along the master fault allowed us to constrain geologic slip rates for the first time with dextral rates of 11.6-24.
