Abstract: In 2012, the canton of Geneva and the SIG (Services Industriels de Genève) started the Geothermie2020 program, aiming to exploit geothermal energy in the Greater Geneva Basin (GGB), Western Switzerland. Before the geothermal drilling operations start, it is key to know the local microseismicity, its relationship with local faults and their activation state. It is also important to ensure that the possible microseismicity can always be detected and located throughout the geothermal project. For this reason, a dense seismic network with sufficie...
