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.
