Among the geologic data, the trenching records of paleoearthquakes represent an important input for the development of seismic hazard evaluations and, specifically, for the characterization of fault rupture behavior in time. In this lecture I will introduce 1. the basic concept of paleoseismology, the evaluation methods and variability of fault parameters, 2. a paleoearthquake database as input for producing rupture scenarios, explore fault behavior and earthquake recurrence in Central Apennines.
