Magnetotelluric study of the Remiremont-Epinal-Rambervillers zone of migrating seismicity, Vosges (France)

Abstract: The magnetotelluric method has been used to image the deep electrical structure of the Remiremont-Epinal-Rambervillers region in the French Vosges Massif, which has presented a significant seismic activity in the past decades. Several earthquakes of moderate magnitude (up to 5.1) occurred in this area with a systematic migration along a nearly N-S direction. Inversion of the magnetotelluric data reveals zones of high electrical conductivity. A large conductive body presents a significative spatial correlation … Show more

“…The migration of earthquakes during both the Remiremont and Rambervilliers sequences, but also over the whole 1964-1999 period [Audin et al, 2002], has been interpreted as the involvement of fluids, probably coming from the sedimentary cover, into the pre-fractured basement. The sporadic seismic activity has also been interpreted as due to the existence of barriers, due to mineral crystallization into the dense network of fractures dilated by fluids, as confirmed by the presence of a high conductivity anomaly evidenced by electrical resistivity measurements [Bourlange et al, 2012]. The main shocks induce the breaking of these barriers, which allows fluid migration along the pressure gradient through diffusion processes.…”

“…The association of the seismicity with electrical conductivity anomalies linked to fault systems penetrated by uids has been documented and discussed in a number of studies (Adam et al 2016;Bourlange et al 2012;Hoskin et al 2015). Seismic events usually occur at the boundaries of conductive zones due to the combined effect of highly mineralized uid pressure and the release of accumulated tectonic stress and brittle deformation (e.g.…”
