Influence of Lithosphere Rheology on Seismicity in an Intracontinental Rift: The Case of the Rhine Graben
The Upper Rhine Graben (URG), as a part of the wider European Cenozoic Rift System, is a tectonically active area that has been extensively investigated for its geothermal energy potential. In this study, we carry out a first investigation of the present-day thermo-mechanical stability of the area a...
