Volcano-tectonic processes in the central part of Iceland, covered by the Vatnajökull glacier, are investigated by inversion of focal mechanisms. Working on a large catalog of focal mechanisms determined by the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), we used a damped regional-scale stress inversion method to obtain an insight of kilometric...

2001 (v1)Journal articleA three-dimensional crustal velocity model of the southwestern Alps from local earthquake tomography
A temporary network of 65 short-period seismological stations was installed in the southwestern Alps during the second half of 1996. It complemented the permanent monitoring networks, obtaining an average interstation distance of ∼10 km. Travel time data from 446 local earthquakes and 104 quarry blasts were inverted simultaneously for...

The SW Alps are an active orogen undergoing intra-mountainous extension and peripheral compression. We discuss the significance of syn-orogenic extension based on a comparison of paleo-stress derived from faultslip data inversion reflecting the long-term (b12 Ma) evolution of SW Alps and the present-day stress state obtained by the inversion of...

2006 (v1)Journal articleA crustal-scale cross-section of the south-western Alps combining geophysical and geological imagery
A geotransect from the Pelvoux Massif (external French Alps) to the Dora-Maira massif (internal Italian Alps), through the Monviso ophiolitic complex was investigated in the framework of a geological and geophysical imagery program of the continental crust: "Géo-France 3D Alpes". In this paper we present and discuss a new interpretative...

We document a 1 week long slow slip event (SSE) with an equivalent moment magnitude of 6.0-6.3 which occurred in August 2010 below La Plata Island (Ecuador), south of the rupture area of the 1906 Mw= 8.8 megathrust earthquake. GPS data reveal that the SSE occurred at a depth of about 10 km, within the downdip part of a shallow (<15 km),...
