Active faults of Mt. Etna (Sicily), version 1

A pilot GIS-based system has been implemented for the assessment and analysis of hazard related to active faults affecting the eastern and southern flanks of Mt. Etna, attached to the JVGR paper "A pilot GIS database of active faults of Mt. Etna (Sicily): A tool for integrated hazard evaluation" by Barreca, Bonforte and Neri, 2013 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2012.08.013). The system consists of different thematic datasets that include spatially-referenced arc-features and associated database. Arc-type features, georeferenced into WGS84 Ellipsoid UTM zone 33 Projection, represent the five main fault systems that develop in the analysed region. The backbone of the GIS-based system is constituted by the large amount of information which was collected from the literature and then stored and properly geocoded in a digital database. This consists of thirty five alpha-numeric fields which include all fault parameters available from literature such us location, kinematics, landform, slip rate, etc.
