Summary

Terrestrial laser scanning datasets (including GPS data for georeferencing), and field photographs collected during the 2016 Central Italian Earthquake sequence. Data were collected from multiple localities to capture the co- seismic near-fault deformation along the earthquake surface ruptures from the 30th Oct Norcia Earthquake. See the scan_data.xlsx for individual details of each laser scan location, and readme.txt for a complete description. In each scan site folder you can find the unprocessed raw files and processed ascii files. Field photographs taken at the site and in the aftermath of the 2016 Norcia Earthquake (30th October 2016, Mw6.6) are provided.
