The Ubaye Region is a seismically active region in the Western Alps (France), regularly struck by seismic swarms characterized by a high number of small to moderate earthquakes, such as in 2003–2004 or 2012–2015. While some earthquakes could be associated with known faults, the character of the observations (high seismicity – low deformation...

In places where sedimentation and erosion compete at fast rates, part of the record of past earthquakes on faults may be buried, hence hidden, in the first few metres below the surface. We developed a novel form of palaeoseismology, of geophysical type, based on the use of a dense pseudo-3-D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey to investigate...
