About EPOS
EPOS, the European Plate Observing System, is a multidisciplinary, distributed research infrastructure that facilitates the integrated use of data, data products, and facilities from the solid Earth science community in Europe.
USERS
EPOS is creating an internationally recognised European research infrastructure that will open new horizons for European research in solid Earth science.
Services
The EPOS Delivery Framework can be defined as a truly international, federated framework encompassing the data and service provision integrated within the TCS and made interoperable with the central hub of the Integrated Core Services (ICS-C) the novel e-infrastructure for promoting FAIR data management.
Projects
EPOS is a beneficiary of several EU-funded projects, which promote the knowledge-sharing and cooperation between several Research Infrastructures and other international organisations
COMMUNICATION
EPOS produces a set of communication materials to present the infrastructure, as well as promote the most relevant resources, tools and services offered. Official materials produced by EPOS are available on this page. For enquiries about the use of our logo, or any other matter related to graphic identity and communications, please contact our Communication Unit.
The TCS Seismology builds on existing coordinated European seismological infrastructures - ORFEUS, EMSC, EFEHR - and associated datacenters to provide services for seismic waveform data, seismological products, and seismic hazard and risk information, and integrates these within the EPOS architecture.
The Near Fault Observatories (NFO) are long term research infrastructures striving to provide such multidisciplinary and high resolution near fault data and products.
The TCS GNSS Data and Products provides access to data, metadata, scientific products and services, through the EPOS infrastructure, to foster research on geodesy and solid Earth science.
The Volcano Observations (VO-TCS) provide long-term access to the Volcano Observatories and Research Institutions data and products. VO-TCS aims at implementing facilities allowing easy access to volcanological data and interoperable services.
TCS Satellite Data aims at implementing satellite Earth Observation (EO) services transverse to the large EPOS community and suitable to be used in several solid Earth science application scenarios.
The TCS Geomagnetic Observations consolidates data and services provided by the geodetic community and creates new services for magnetotelluric data and geomagnetic models.
The TCS for Anthropogenic Hazards (TCS-AH) provides facilities, time-correlated datasets, and material on the EPISODES online platform to aid education and research on induced seismicity and hazards related to the exploration and exploitation of geo-resources.
The TCS Geological Information and Modeling is responsible for building upon huge amount of geological and borehole information available from the European Geological Surveys and providing a number of services easily accessible through the EPOS infrastructure and multidisciplinary research platform.
TCS Multi-scale laboratories includes a wide range of world-class experimental laboratory infrastructures: from high pressure-temperature rock and fault mechanics and rock physics facilities, to electron microscopy, micro-beam analysis, analogue modelling and paleomagnetic laboratories.
The Thematic Core Service (TCS) Tsunami coordinates within the EPOS infrastructure the provision of various tsunami-related services, such as data (e.g., sea level, historical, submarine landslides), instrument information, tsunami information products, numerical models, and hazard and risk products in Europe.
