RÉSoNANSS: a regional contribution to
seismological observations in the Western
France

The west metropolitan France is characterized by a persistent intraplate seismicity: ∼ 80 events of M ≤ 2 /year
and few greater magnitudes (only ve
Mw > 4 over the 20 last years, Fig. 2).
Due to a lack of coverage in the permanent seismological stations, the source
parameters are not accurately resolved.
Thanks to various fundings, the LPGNantes acquired a portable array of
12 short-period seismometers in order
to improve the coverage in the Brittany area. Our network (named RÉSoNANSS) is deployed around specic geological targets for several months, with
a spacing of ∼ 30 km. The rst deployment was focused on the Southern Armorican Shear Zone (SASZ, South Brittany). It allows us to precise the spatial distribution of the seismicity along
[eric.beucler@univ-nantes.fr]
the Hercynian structures. Within the
SI-HEX project, 19 typical intraplate
events are relocated using the RÉSoNANSS database. Some slight modications in the locations of earthquakes
can be observed (Fig. 3) and some comprehensive explorations of the model
space underline a typical pattern for the
Brittany crust model (Figs. 5, 6).

Relocation of 22 intraplate events that occured
between the 27th June 2007 and the 30th June 2010 (BCSF

to the orange ones. The ellipses represent a condence of
∼ 95% (2 σ ), the inversion code for location is hyp2000.
