Seismicity of the Alps

Sismicité des Alpes 1987-2023


ISTerre/OSUG surveille la sismicité des Alpes en assurant le déploiement et la maintenance de stations sismologiques permanentes, constituant le réseau SISMalp.

ISTerre/OSUG monitors the seismicity of the Alps by deploying and maintaining permanent seismic stations, which together form the SISMalp network.

The instrumented sites are equipped with high-performance velocimeters and accelerometers, enabling the detection of all earthquakes of magnitude greater than 1 in the Northern Alps and the recording of vibrations generated by the largest earthquakes.






These stations are integrated into the national observation services RLBP and RAP of the Epos-France Research Infrastructure.
