Abstract

The sites of Verre, Fos, La Ciotat and Marseilles show different relative sea level rises during the last 6000 years. At Fos, a negative tectonic mobility, in connection with Salon-Cavaillon fault, can explain the difference. At Berre, the difference is linked to relative uplift, related to the La Fare shearing fault. At Marseilles and La Ciotat, equal results plead for relative tectonic stability east of the Durance fault. Berre and Fos recorded deformations might be linked to Holocene tectonic mobility in relation to major structures at these sites.
