Spreadsheet containing information on earthquakes that DID / DID NOT rupture the surface Data are extracted from the ISC-GEM catalogue. Fields include: N.: identificative number, progressive Event ID: identificative number, from the ISC-GEM catalogue Date: format YYYY-MM-DD, from the ISC-GEM catalogue Lat: latitude of the epicenter, in decimal degrees Lon: longitude of the epicenter, in decimal degrees Depth, Depth unc and Depth quality: information retrieved from the ISC-GEM catalogue Mw, Mw unc and Mw quality: moment magnitude; information retrieved from the ISC-GEM catalogue Str, Dip, Rake: strike, dip and rake for the 2 nodal planes; information retrieved from the ISC-GEM catalogue Fault kin: earthquake mechanism, categorized as reverse, strike-slip, normal, transpressive, transtensive Surface faulting: categorized as YES, NO, no info, debated faulting SRL (surface rupture length in km); MD (max displacement in m); AD (average displacement in m) Reference: literature used to compile the dataset; full list is available in the .pdf file related to this document A poster has been presented at the PATA Days 2023 in France, file available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363739186_LIKELIHOOD_OF_PRIMARY_SURFACE_FAULTING_A_SEQUEL
