Région étudiée dans le cadre du projet Libris.

Le Liban présente quelques particularités du point de vue du risque sismique. En effet, le pays est découpé par la faille du Levant qui, alors qu'elle pénètre sur le territoire libanais, se divise en trois branches majeures. La branche principale est répertoriée sous le nom de faille de Yammoûneh : elle découpe le Mont Liban du Nord au Sud ; A l'est se trouve le système de failles de Rachaya et Serghaya, qui elles découpent les contreforts de l'Anti Liban ; A l'ouest, un système de failles chevauchantes a été récemment découvert en mer : il se connecte à terre par deux rampes latérales décrochantes : la faille de Roum au sud, et la faille de Tripoli au nord. Toutes ces failles ont rompu lors du dernier millénaire, générant des séismes importants. Par ailleurs, la vulnérabilité de la société libanaise face aux séismes est accrue par un développement urbain extrêmement concentré le long de la bande littorale. Si la qualité des nouvelles constructions est acceptable, les anciennes habitations, souvent dégradées par les années de guerre civile, ont été construites selon des normes pour le moins inadéquates. C'est dans ce cadre que s'inscrit le projet LIBRIS, contribution à l'étude du risque sismique au Liban. Ce projet rassemble plusieurs laboratoires français et libanais dans un effort pluridisciplinaire pour estimer le risque sismique sur le sol libanais. Le projet se développe en 4 axes principaux : l'étude de la sismicité et des grandes structures profondes du Liban par les méthodes sismologiques ; l'étude de la déformation actuelle des grandes failles par les méthodes de la géodésie spatiale ; étude de la vulnérabilité physique et sociétale face aux séismes ; et enfin l'étude des grands séismes du passé par les méthodes de la paléosismologie et de la spéléosismologie.
