France is not a seismic Country, at least if compared to other european regions nearby. Nonetheless, some earthquakes shook this land during historic times and also recently. In a previous post, I’ve already described our visit, during the PATA days 2022, in the epicentral area of the 1909 Lambesc earthquake. This is the turn of…

On the 11th June, 1909 a moderate earthquake (Mw 6.0) hit the Provance region, with an epicenter located somewhere between Rognes and Saint-Cannat. The shaking was locally very strong and damages were widespread in the Villages of Roignes, Lambesc and others, with waves felt as far as hubdreeds of kilometers. Incredibly, studies on the inversion…

Pellice Valley lies in the SW Piedmont region (N Italy), in a structurally complex area where the Alps-Apennines junction is located. Piedmont is a region where a low seismic release rate is domiant, except for the so-called Pinerolese seismic zone and for some historical events, including the damaging 1808 Pellice Valley seismic sequence (Mw max…

Lake Garda is one of the most interesting basins in the Southern Alps, both for its peculiar lymnological characteristics (it has one of the longest full circulation periods among pre-alpine lakes) and – that’s our point 😉 – because there are several active faults running along its bottom. That’s why we here planned an offshore…
