PATA workshop – paleoseismology, active tectonics and archeoseismology

I am glad to have participated in this workshop (https://patadays-2022.sciencesconf.org/), it has been an interesting event with much discussion and an interesting fieldtrip to study active tectonics markers in the franco-italian Alps and southeastern France.

Featured image: scarp of a fault of recent (quaternary) activity near the Lombarde pass studied during the fieldtrip.

Presentation of my work on the effects of glacial isostasy in the Paris Basin on fault stability in response to glacial cycles (past and future).
Trench crossing the “La Rouvière” fault in southeastern France, allowing the study of its recent activity, with the aim to identify eventual holocene-quaternary movements. More informations in Ritz et al. (2020): Surface rupture and shallow fault reactivation during the 2019 Mw 4.9 Le Teil earthquake, France and Ritz et al.
