Report on Results of Borehole Tilt Measurements from the Charlevoix Observatory, Quebec

Abstract

This report comprises four papers that discuss the results of our borehole tilt observations from the Charlevoix region of Quebec, Canada. The array of three tiltmeters is arranged as an equilateral triangle of approximately 80 m side. Two of the Bodenseewerk Gbp tiltmeters operate at a depth of 47 m and the third at 110m. The Charlevoix region is one of high intraplate seismicity and the tiltmeter array was designed to investigate the relationship between earthquake activity, the tectonic stress that induces it, and the tilting of the Earth's surface under the combined effects of the earth tide, marine tidal loading, and tectonic stress.
