Synthesis
from AIThe 2024 EPOS Multi-Scale Laboratories (MSL) TCS Flyer highlights the role of MSL in harmonizing laboratory data across Europe to study Earth’s geological processes at all scales.
The MSL community operates over 90 laboratories, including advanced facilities like electron microscopes and deformation testing machines, supporting research on georesources, geohazards, and Earth system evolution. EPOS ensures central findability of MSL data through the EPOS Data Portal and MSL Data Catalogue, with data published in repositories such as GFZ Data Services.
Collaboration among European researchers is emphasized as critical for understanding Earth material responses to human and tectonic activity, from micro-scale processes to kilometer-scale effects. EPOS, as a distributed research infrastructure, provides long-term access to solid Earth science data to address societal challenges like geo-hazards and environmental impacts.
