SI-Hex project : Instrumental seismicity of the Hexagon

Duration : 2009 - 2013
Contact at ISTerre : François Thouvenot
ISTerre team involved : Fault mechanics
External collaborations :

The instrumental seismicity catalogue resulting from the SI-Hex project will constitute an open and evolving public database, bringing together the BCSF (French Central Seismological Office bringing together CNRS-University laboratories) and the LDG (CEA-DAM Detection and Geophysics Laboratory).

More specifically, will be available at the end of the project (end of 2013) :

  • the seismicity catalogue, with maps showing the evolution over time and by region of uncertainties on the parameters of the catalogue and on the magnitudes of completeness
  • an analysis report on the location of hypocentres
  • a methodological synthesis report and the list of magnitudes of moments
  • a report of regional studies of specific seismicity parameters
  • a study report on household mechanisms
  • a study report on discrimination between natural earthquakes and quarry fire
