Slope movements are one of the principal factors for mountain belts erosion and represent also a decisive issue for country planning. Gravitational phenomena are expressed under various forms seldom recognized and seldom analysed in their globality in a same massif. Thus, the geometric and dynamic links characterizing them are never approached....

The Ubaye Region (French Western Alps) is one of the most seismically active regions in France. It is regularly struck by mainshock–aftershocks sequences like in 1959 (ML 5.3), seismic swarms (2003–2004), and complex sequences (2012–2015) characterized by successive mainshocks clustered in time and space. This diversity of seismic behaviour...

The Ubaye Region is the most seismically active region in the Western Alps, with earthquakesthat were commonly felt by the population and that even damaged local villages and cities. Since thefirst testimonies in 1844, this area has been regularly struck by seismic swarms with a high number ofevents, such as in 2003–2004 or 2012–2015, or by...

The analysis of the seismicity catalog (1996 to 2019) covering the region from the Juramountains to Corsica provides a first-order image of the distribution of earthquakes, highlightinglarge structures such as the Briançonnais and Piedmontais seismic arcs, the eastward deepeningof the focal depths through the Western Alps, several large active...

We present a compilation of over 1700 focal mechanisms for nearly 1300 earthquakes in metropolitan France and bordering regions of Western Europe. It is based on both published and unpublished sources (articles, reports, observatory websites) for which the focal mechanism solutions have been verified for internal consistency, corrected in cases...

Seismic hazard levels used as reference for the French Lesser Antilles are derived fromprobabilistic seismic hazard assessment studies performed in 2002. However, scientificknowledge has greatly increased over the past 20 years in this area, warranting an update of the seismic hazard models. As part of a project linking the French Ministry of...
