Multi-scale imaging of a slow active fault zone: contribution for improved seismic hazard assessment in the Swiss Alpine foreland

Vouillamoz, Naomi ; Mosar, Jon ; Deichmann, Nicholas

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2017, vol. 110, no. 2, p. 547–563

Seismic hazard assessment of slow active fault zones is challenging as usually only a few decades of sparse instrumental seismic monitoring is available to characterize seismic activity. Tectonic features linked to the observed seismicity can be mapped by seismic imaging techniques and/or geomorphological and structural evidences. In this study, we investigate a seismic lineament located in...

Optimizing event detection and location in low‐seismicity zones: case study from western Switzerland

Vouillamoz, Naomi ; Wust-Bloch, Gilles Hillel ; Abednego, Martinus ; Mosar, Jon

In: Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2016, vol. 106, no. 5, p. 2023–2036

Obtaining robust event catalogs in regions of low seismicity can be time-consuming, because quality events are less frequent and sensor coverage is generally sparse. Optimizing event detection and location in such regions is all the more crucial because these areas tend to host a higher density of sensitive infrastructures. The meth- odology proposed consists of reprocessing existing data...

3D cartographic modeling of the Alpine Arc

Vouillamoz, Naomi ; Sue, Christian ; Champagnac, Jean-Daniel ; Philippe, Calcagno

In: Tectonophysics, 2012, p. -

We built a 3D cartography of the alpine arc, a highly non-cylindrical mountain belt, using the 3D GeoModeller of the BRGM (French geological survey). The model allows to handle the large-scale 3D structure of seventeen major crustal units of the belt (from the lower crust to the sedimentary cover nappes), and two main discontinuities (the Insubric line and the Crustal Penninic Front). It provides...
