Abstract: Researchers working around a reservoir in the French Alps find that changes in certain phenomena, such as emissions of radon gas from the ground in the vicinity, follow variations in the reservoir's water level. The water level reflects the amount of stress being applied to the underlying Earth's crust. So this approach may provide clues as to geophysical signals evident when crust deforms in the build up to an earthquake.
