We will be at EGU26 to present our work on new approaches to perform subaqueous paleoseismology !

Leclerc, F., Billant, J., Seibert, C., Escartin, J., Feuillet, N., Hughes, A., Schmidt, S. and Le Callonnec, L., 2026. New insights into subaqueous paleoseismology from the preserved imprints of paleo-earthquake markers on a normal fault scarp (Roseau Fault Lesser Antilles, France) (No. EGU26-2426). Copernicus Meetings.

I will also present our results on the AMORGOS fault and earthquakes during the GIFT workshop for teachers, on the side of EGU.

I 'll be present during the Tsunami Day organised in the framework of EPOS at Nice, on June 3rd, with a poster :
Leclerc F., Larroque C., Sladen A. - 
Imager la faille Ligure pour mieux comprendre son fonctionnement et son histoire récente : la future campagne en mer FADAS


NEW Paper from Gaëlle Bénâtre

NEWS : our 1st paper about the AMORGOS project is out !

Leclerc, F., Palagonia, S., Feuillet, N., Nomikou P., Lampridou D., Barrière P., Dano A., Ochoa E., Gracias N., Escartin J., Large seafloor rupture caused by the 1956 Amorgos tsunamigenic earthquake, Greece. Communications Earth & Environment 5, 663 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-024-01839-0

We explain the story behind the paper here, an article has been published a greek newspaper and on the french INSU page too !

A new adventure writing a book for children about volcanoes! 
I started being interested by Earth Sciences through volcanoes! i first wanted to become a volcanologist and i have been lucky to visit for several months the Observatory of Montagne Pelée in Martinique, and the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory! then i discovered marine geosciences and tectonics, but my first passion is still vibrant!

on parle du livre ici: volume 4 de KIPUKA et sur la page vulgarisation de GEOLE The Source of the Amorgos 1956 Tsunamigenic Earthquake (M~7.5) Revealed bySubmarine Observations
