Investigating the possibility of Earthquake precursors
(overview of Sur-Frêtes experiment, in French)
* Evidence for correlated transient deformation, electric potential variations and radon emanations near a reservoir lake [Trique et al., 1999, 2002] (News and Views by E. Roeloffs).* Evidence for electric potential variations driven by lake level variations [Perrier et al, 1998].
* Laboratory measurements of electrokinetic effect [Lorne et al., 1990a, 1999b].
