European Plate Observing System France – Epos-France
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 by coordinating observation activities and actively contributing to Solid Earth research. Over the next few years, many of the players in this field will gradually join IR Epos France, which represents the French participation in EPOS, the European IR whose mission is to integrate national and transnational IRs responsible for observing and understanding our planet.
Epos-France is the successor to Résif, the French seismological and geodetic network, which since 2008 has deployed modern instrumentation to measure deformations of the earth’s surface and initiated cross-disciplinary research.
