European Plate Observing System France – Epos-France

Epos-France is experiencing significant slowdowns on its websites. They are due to preparatory work for the migration of the sites to a new platform by the CNRS services. We thank you for your patience.

Epos-France is a national research infrastructure (RI) included in the roadmap of research infrastructures published by the MESR. Its aim is to advance our knowledge of the Earth’s complex, dynamic system. As a result, much of France’s research on the solid Earth will progressively join the Epos-France RI, which represents France’s participation in EPOS, the European RI whose mission is to integrate national and transnational RIs tasked with observing and understanding our planet.

Epos-France is the successor to Résif, the French seismological and geodetic network, which since 2011 has deployed modern instrumentation to measure deformations of the earth’s surface and initiated cross-disciplinary research.

The CNRS’s Institut national des sciences de l’Univers coordinates the Epos-France consortium, made up of the majority of French universities and organizations involved in geosciences research.

Signatories to the Epos-France consortium agreement: CNRS, BRGM, CEA, Cerema, CNES, Ifremer, IGN, IPGP, IRD, IRSN, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, Nantes Université, Univ. Clermont-Auvergne, Univ. Côte d’Azur, Univ. Grenoble-Alpes, Univ. Gustave Eiffel, Univ. Montpellier, Univ. Paul Sabatier Toulouse III and Univ. de Strasbourg.
