In regions where only small- to moderate-size events have been recorded, it is important to be able to anticipate the effects of a large event by simulating the ground motion it may generate. Using the very good records of two small earthquakes that occurred in the central French Pyrenees (2007 November 15, Mw= 3.6; and 2006 November 17, Mw=...

A key step in probabilistic seismic-hazard assessment is the prediction of expected ground motions produced by the seismic sources. Most probabilistic studies use a ground-motion prediction model to perform this estimation. The present study aims at testing the use of simulations in the probabilistic analysis instead of ground-motion models....

We document a moderate earthquake in the French Alps (26 February 2012 Mw 4.1) that has been much more distinctly felt south of the event than north of it. This discrepancy was especially clear in the two large cities of Nice and Grenoble, both situated at 100 km from the epicenter. This observation was confirmed by ground-motion measurements...
