The astronomical and geodetic observatory OCA, located on the karst plateau of Calern (Caussols, France), has been monitoring earth deformation for several years. Two long baseline tiltmeters have been installed in a shaft in 2007, along with classical hydrogeological monitoring tools in order to investigate the relationship between current...

ABSTRACT We report here the design, performance, and in situ demonstration, on‐land and offshore, of an innovative high‐resolution low‐cost optical (laser) seismometer. The instrument was developed within the Laser Interferometry for Earth Strain project (French Agence Nationale de la Recherche [ANR] program), and first tested at the low‐noise...

In many areas with high telluric hazard, our understanding of the seismogenic and mechanical processes is limited by the difficulty or impossibility to deploy arrays of high performance seismometers or of other geophsyical sensors, due to high cost and/or difficulty of the installation and maintenance. This led us to develope several optical...
