The following maps and lists show the earthquakes of the last 90 days (top) and those recorded by the SED since 01.07.2023 (bottom) in the Haute-Sorne region.
The lists contain earthquake locations that seismologists have manually verified. Unverified, automatic locations are not listed but can appear on the map. Please note that automatic locations may be subject to significant uncertainties (up to 5 km). We only list earthquakes that occurred at a depth of less than 10 km. A causal relationship between earthquakes at greater depths and the monitored geothermal project is very unlikely. The schwarze circle marks a radius of 2 km around the exploratory borehole.
During the stimulation phases, the SED also examines each recorded earthquake within 48 hours to determine whether it was caused ('induced') by the stimulation or is of natural origin. A categorisation is given in the 'Event type' column of the list of earthquakes. More information can be found in our FAQs: 'How does the SED categorise natural and (human-)induced earthquakes?'
The earthquakes in the Haute-Sorne area are usually expressions of the natural seismic activity and are not necessarily related to the Geo-Energie Jura SA deep geothermal project.
