Cracking of the bell tower of the church of Saint-Denis following the earthquake of November 29, 2007, on the masonry part as well as on the structure (concrete beam above the vault). Cracks were also found inside the bell tower. The damage is level 2.This picture was taken during the field mission that took place from December 5 to 11...

ABSTRACT Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment relies on long-term earthquake forecasts and ground-motion models. Our aim is to improve earthquake forecasts by including information derived from geodetic measurements, with an application to the Colombia–Ecuador megathrust. The annual rate of moment deficit accumulation at the interface is...

The present work develops a comprehensive probabilistic seismic hazard study for Lebanon, a country prone to a high seismic hazard since it is located along the Levant fault system. The historical seismicity has documented devastating earthquakes which have struck this area. Contrarily, the instrumental period is typical of a low-to-moderate...

A new view of Ecuador's complex geodynamics has been developed in the course of modeling seismic source zones for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. This study focuses on two aspects of the plates' interaction at a continental scale: (a) age‐related differences in rheology between Farallon and Nazca plates—marked by the Grijalva rifted...

Quito, the capital city of Ecuador hosting ∼2 million inhabitants, lies on the hanging wall of a ∼60-km-long reverse fault offsetting the Inter-Andean Valley in the northern Andes. Such an active fault poses a significant risk, enhanced by the high density of population and overall poor building construction quality. Here, we constrain the...

A megathrust subduction earthquake (Mw 7.8) struck the coast of Ecuador on 16 April 2016 at 23:58 UTC. This earthquake is one of the best‐recorded megathrust events to date. Besides the mainshock, two large aftershocks have been recorded on 18 May 2016 at 7:57 (Mw 6.7) and 16:46 (Mw 6.9). These data make a significant contribution for...

Martinique is, with Guadeloupe, classified in seismicity zone III (decree n°2007-1467 of October 12, 2007) which is the highest level of seismic hazard for the French territory. From the point of view of intensities, with a maximum intensity of VI-VII, the earthquake of November 29, 2007 is the most important one felt in Martinique since the...

Seismic hazard levels used as reference for the French Lesser Antilles are derived fromprobabilistic seismic hazard assessment studies performed in 2002. However, scientificknowledge has greatly increased over the past 20 years in this area, warranting an update of the seismic hazard models. As part of a project linking the French Ministry of...
