Une nouvelle combinaison de 10 ans de données GPS permanents, en particulier par le réseau Rénag et d'un siècle de données de nivellement montre de façon cohérente que les Alpes occidentales sont caractérisées par des mouvements verticaux en surrection rapide, jusqu'à 2,5 mm/an au NW de l'arc, alors que les mouvements horizontaux aux limites de...

Collisional mountain belts grow as a consequence of continental plate convergence and eventuallydisappear under the combined effects of gravitational collapse and erosion. Using a decade ofGPS data, we show that the western Alps are currently characterized by zero horizontal velocityboundary conditions, offering the opportunity to investigate...

In many areas with high telluric hazard (earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides etc.), our understanding of seismogenic and mechanical processes and our ability to properly asses the related hazard is still very limited by the difficulty or the impossibility to deploy arrays of high performance seismometers in areas with harsh and challenging...
