Radon concentration in caves as a proxy for tectonic activity in The Cantabrian Mountains (Spain)

Radon (Rn) constitutes a good geochemical tracer for neotectonic activity in faults since associated fracturing near the surface favours fluid escape to the atmosphere. In this contribution, we measured the Rn concentration in the air inside karst caves to constraints the recent fault activity in th...
