Seismic network 8C :monitoring swarms in the Mont-Blanc and Vallorcine area (RESIF - SISMOB)

We have installed three stations around the Mont-Banc massif in order to detect local earthquakes. These stations were installed at the same location as stations from Cifalp2 project, that were uninstalled in December 219. The goal is to detect and locate earthquakes from several swarms in the area, one along the French-italian border below the « Grandes Jorasses », another one closer to Chamonix, and a third one near Vallorcine. Moreover, these stations may also help to locate seismic signals produced by glacier basal sliding, rockfalls or glacier collapse.
