In the frame of my PhD, my research is focused on environnemental seismology dealing with the impact of cyclones on the bedload transport and the erosion in two rivers in La Réunion. In order to monitor spatial and temporal variations of the river’s bed-load during tropical cyclones from the high-frequency seismic noise in La Réunion, we deployed a temporary seismic network of 9 three-component broadband seismometers along two rivers: Rivière des Pluies and Rivière du Mât, both located on the northern side of the island.

Seismometers CMG40 and digitizers Taurus
Seismic station (close to the Rivière des Pluies river bed)
Seismic station transported by helicopter up the Rivière des Pluies
Digitizer Centaur III, battery and energy regulator protected by a hermetical plastic box
