Database of Active Faults in Slovenia: Compiling a New Active Fault Database at the Junction Between the Alps, the Dinarides and the Pannonian Basin Tectonic Domains

We present the compilation of a new database active faults in Slovenia, aiming at introducing geological data for first time as input national seismic hazard model. The area junction Alps, Dinarides, and Pannonian Basin is moderately seismically active. About dozen M w > 5.5 earthquakes have occurred across territory last millennium, four which instrumental era. relative paucity major low to moderate fault slip rates necessitate use geologic more representative assessment hazard. Active identification complicated by complex regional structural setting due overprinting different tectonic phases. Additionally, overall high erosion, denudation slope mass movement processes with up several orders magnitude larger than obscure surface definition traces activity, making parametrization difficult. presented includes active, probably potentially trace lengths >5 km, systematically compiled cataloged from vast highly heterogeneous dataset. Input was mined published papers, reports, studies, maps, unpublished reports Geological Survey Slovenia archives dedicated studies. All are fully parametrized spatial, geometric, kinematic activity parameter descriptors including origin quality full traceability data. dataset through an extended questionnaire set criteria into homogenous database. final 96 240 segments optimized maximum compatibility other current maps EU levels.
