Emeline Maufroy

Emeline Maufroy, coordinator of the SASHA project, has been an associate professor at the Institute of Earth Sciences (ISTerre) at Université Grenoble Alpes, France, since 2017. Her research expertise lies in predicting strong earthquake motions and damages by combining seismological recordings, macroseismic intensities, spatial information, and 3D numerical simulations. She has published a total of 19 peer-reviewed articles. She defended her doctoral thesis on November 26, 2010. At the end of 2020, she began co-supervising her first doctoral student. Since 2018, she has been responsible for the French strong-motion network RAP-Résif, the accelerometric component (SNO) of the Résif research infrastructure managed by CNRS-INSU. This seismological network consists of 160 permanent stations deployed in metropolitan France and overseas, operated since 1997 by 13 partner institutes, including public and parapublic organizations. The RAP SNO currently involves 56 staff members, researchers, engineers, and technicians, engaged in network maintenance and scientific animation. In 2021, the budget of the RAP SNO under E. Maufroy’s direct responsibility represents €315k for station operation and the scientific valorization of French accelerometric data (excluding permanent staff costs). Since 2017, she is also co-responsible for the STPE-Georisks master’s program at Université Grenoble Alpes (around twenty students per year).

Cécile Cornou

Cécile Cornou is a research director at the Institute of Research for Development (IRD) within the Institute of Earth Sciences (ISTerre) in Grenoble, specializing in seismology. Her work focuses mainly on site effects related to near-surface geology, spatial variability of ground motion, site characterization, and more recently, the integration of site effects in building damage prediction. She earned her Ph.D. in seismology at the Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, as well as a master’s degree in Geophysical Engineering at the School and Observatory of Earth Sciences at the University of Strasbourg.

Her current responsibilities :
2022- : Co-leader of the Grenoble Institute of Risks project
2021- : Co-leader of the thematic program RISK within the Graduate School @ UGA
2020- : Member of the research-observation commission of the OSUG labex
2020- : Member of the CSS5 evaluation commission of IRD

Erwan Pathier

Erwan Pathier is a physicien at ISTerre. He is an expert in InSAR data processing applied to surface ground measurements, with experience in applications to earthquakes, continental tectonics, landslides, and subsidence. He also has experience in GIS management and remote sensing data.

Antoine Schlupp

Research engineer at the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA) with the rank of senior research engineer, working within ITES-UMR7063 located at 5 Rue René Descartes, University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg. Specialized in seismology, seismic hazard, and risk, he has extensive expertise in seismic sources, active faults, site effects, seismic vulnerability EMS98, as well as in models and seismic hazard assessment. Having obtained his doctorate in 1996, he currently serves as the National Coordinator for the "Shakemap" Axis of the EposFrance Transverse Seismicity Action, representing Epos-France "Shakemap" at the European level (Epos - Geo-Inquire).

Valentin Schindelholz

A Ph.D. student at ISTerre since 2023, supervised by Dr. Cécile Cornou and Dr. Emeline Maufroy, my work mainly focuses on modeling seismic wave amplification in sedimentary valleys. After studying Geotechnics and Civil Engineering at Polytech Grenoble, I completed my education with a Master’s in Geoscience at the Université Grenoble Alpes, deepening my knowledge in seismic and natural hazard risk. My interests include mountain sports, sciences, and anything related to the environment.

Aya Cheaib

Research engineer at Université Grenoble Alpes within the Institute of Earth Sciences (ISTerre), specialized in remote sensing and satellite image processing. Holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Geosciences, a Master’s degree in Petroleum Geosciences, and a doctoral thesis on gravitational risks and remote sensing. Currently holding the position of research engineer in the SASHA project, the main missions involve providing subsidence rates in the studied valleys and organizing all data in a geographic information system.
