a Schematic profile on the FL (N 168′000–N 202′000 in CH1903-LV03 projection system, see trace in c) that integrates geological, seismic imaging and earthquake data at scale. b Estimated rupture surfaces for M 0 to M 6 earthquakes, using the same scaling as in a. Scaling relationships are excerpted from Bohnhoff et al. (2010) and Fagereng and Toy (2011). c Regional tectonic map featuring the major fault systems in the Alpine foreland across the Jura belt and the western Swiss Molasse basin: V Vuache, SC St-Claude, A Arve, Mz Morez, M Mouthe, LS la Sarraz, P Pontarlier, LL la Lance, LF la Ferrière, F Fribourg (Fendringen and St. Sylvester); and RL, Rhenish Lineament [modified from Chevalier et al. (2010)]. RS indicates the Rhône-Simplon Accident. Left frame: the focal mechanisms computed for three of the reference events (1, 2, and 4) (Deichmann et al. 2010; Vouillamoz, 2015) are consistent with the well constrained fault plane solutions computed for the ML 4.3 event on the FL (Kastrup et al. 2007) and suggest almost pure strike-slip rupture along N–S oriented fault planes
