We present and discuss the Late Cretaceous evolution of the Southeast France Basin (SEFB) owing to the Pyrenean and Alpine belts. The available geological data (isopachs maps, boreholes and field data) were integrated in 3D GeoModeller software to build a 3D model of the geometry of the Cenomanian to Campanian sedimentary series of the Late...

Dans le cadre d'une étude financée par l'EPR PACA, nous avons développé une méthode de cartographie des zones soumises à des mouvements du sol, à l'aide de moyens infonnatiques. Nous avons appliqué cette méthode à la commune de Seillans afin d'intégrer cette carte des risques dans le plan d'occupation des sols. Parmi les phénomènes naturels qui...

Historical and active seismicity in the south-western Alps (France and Italy) shows the recurrence of relatively high-magnitude earthquakes (M ≥ 5.8), like the one that recently affected the Italian Apennine range (M = 6.3 on the 30th March 2009). However, up-to-date detailed mapping of the active fault network has been poorly established. The...

Seismic hazard assessment of active faults in slow orogenic domains is a challenging issue. In this paper we present a multi-disciplinary approach based on a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), 3D-geological modelling, fracture analysis, and strain analysis of pebbles in a Pliocene molasse basin. The basin is cross-cut by "slow-active" faults of the...

The Roquebrune-Cap Martin basin (RCMB), developed along the eastern rim of the Nice arc, represents an exclusive sedimentary marker constraining the timing of the deformation in the Nice arc (southern Subalpine chain) during Miocene times. Structural and sedimentological analyses as well as 3D geometrical modeling of the RCMB revealed...

This contribution illustrates a new type of map, the "geological event map" (1:250,000 scale), which highlights the progressive steps of the geologic history recorded in the polycyclic orogenic belt of the European Alps, at their southwestern termination facing the western Mediterranean Sea. The formula of historical progression simplifies...
