Ground-failure inventories are often created after major earthquakes and are a key research tool that can be used to develop, train, and test hazard models. The development of robust, transportable, and predictive ground-failure models requires access to numerous inventories of ground-failures that span a broad range of terrains, shaking characteristics, and climates. We present an open access, centralized repository for earthquake-triggered ground-failure inventories in the form of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ScienceBase repository with the goal of accelerating research progress. The ScienceBase repository hosts point and polygon inventories created by both USGS and non-USGS authors. The USGS also developed a separate ArcGIS Online web application that enhances the ScienceBase repository by allowing users to interactively explore the inventories available. Currently, the repository contains 49 inventories from 39 earthquake events. The repository is designed to allow more inventories to be added as they become available, making it possible for the collection of data to grow.
