Abstract
The aim of this work is the determination of the neotectonic activity of the Jura mountains. Alluvial terraces are a good index of mountain uplift. Our hypothesis is to use the terrace base as a reference. With the age and altitude variations, we could also calculate the uplift velocity variations during the last hundred thousand years. Then a test of DC electric and TDEM measurements was carried out in the Seille valley (french Jura) for mapping alluvial terraces.
