Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

Previously hypothesized fault weakening mechanisms include faults lined by low-friction
clay gouges, elevated pore pressures within fault cores and/or the operation of dynamic …

We use 2 decades of data from a dense geodetic network to extract regionally coherent
velocities and deformation rates in France and neighboring western European countries …

Explaining the presence of normal faults in overall compressive settings is a challenging
problem in understanding the tectonics of active mountain belts. The Himalayan-Tibetan …

Processes and deformation rates generating seismicity in metropolitan France and
conterminous Western EuropeProcessus et taux de déformation générant la sismicité en …

We provide a present-day surface-kinematics model for the Alpine region and surroundings
based on a high-level data analysis of about 300 geodetic stations continuously operating …

The availability of GPS survey data spanning 22 years, along with several independent
velocity solutions including up to 16 years of permanent GPS data, presents a unique …

Due to the low to moderate seismicity of the European Western Alps, few focal mechanisms
are available in this region to this day, and the corresponding current seismic stress and …

Beneath the northern foreland of the Central Alps deep crustal earthquakes up to magnitude
4 regularly occur in the continental lithosphere. At 20 km to 30 km depths, where most of …

This work presents the seismotectonic zoning scheme of Metropolitan France developed by
the IRSN (French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety) within the framework of its …
