Glacial isostatic adjustment strain rate – stress paradox in the Western Alps, impact on active faults and seismicity

Abstract: Abstract. In regions formerly glaciated during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) explains most of the measured uplift and deformation rates. GIA is also proposed as a key process contributing to fault activity and seismicity shortly after the LGM and potentially up to present-day. Here, we study the impact of GIA on present-day fault activity and seismicity in the Western Alps. We show that, in the upper crust, GIA induces horizontal compressive stress perturbations associated … Show more
