Abstract

The invention relates to the field of seismology and volcanology, especially the monitoring of the sites in question, called “unstable sites”, and more specifically the monitoring of a fault on such a site. In this respect, the invention especially relates to a reflective assembly to be arranged on a monitored site, the site being monitored from an observation point from which an electromagnetic wave is directed towards the reflective assembly. The invention also relates to a method for monitoring a site by means of such a reflective assembly.
