  abstract = {{A} dense, local network of 30 geodetic markers covering a 50 x 60 km(2) area in the southwestern {E}uropean {A}lps ({B}riancon region) has been temporarily surveyed in 1996, 2006 and 2011 by {GPS}. {T}he aim is to measure the current deformation in this seismically active area. {T}he study zone is characterized by a majority of extensional and dextral focal mechanisms, along north-south to {N}160 oriented faults. {T}he combined analysis of the three measurement campaigns over 15 years and up to 16 years of permanent {GPS} data from the {F}rench {RENAG} network now enables to assess horizontal velocities below 1 mm/year within the local network. {T}he long observation interval and the redundancy of the dense campaign network measurement help to constrain a significant local deformation pattern in the {B}riancon region, yielding an average {E}-{W} extension of 16 +/- 11 nanostrain/year. {W}e compare the geodetic deformation field to the seismic deformation rate cumulated over 37 years, and obtain good coherencies both in amplitude and direction. {M}oreover, the horizontal deformation localized in the {B}riancon region represents a major part of the {A}driatic-{E}uropean relative plate motion. {H}owever, the average uplift of the network in an extensional setting needs the presence of buoyancy forces in addition to plate tectonics.},
