Popis: The June 10, 2022 Ms5.8, Ms6.0 and Ms5.2 earthquake swarm of Maerkang, Sichuan, China has triggered a lot of landslides. The primary purpose of this paper is to prepare a detailed coseismic landslides inventory and ancient landslide inventory in the earthquake swarm-affected area. Based on pre- and post-quake high-resolution optical satellite images (planet), we delineated 650 individual coseismic landslides in the VI-intensity area and above, occupying an area of about 1.2 ​km2. The largest landslide covers about 70217 ​m2 in horizontal projection, while the smallest one is just 81 ​m2. In addition, based on the series of high-precise images on the Google Earth Platform, 759 ancient landslides were also delineated with an area of 117 ​km2. The maximum area reaches about 2 ​km2 and the minimum is 2580 ​m2. The two inventories provide a basis for landslide spatial distribution and hazard assessment, disaster prevention and mitigation of earthquake-triggered landslides in similar regions. We opened these two landslide inventories to facilitate researchers to carry out more in-depth work.
