Synthesis
from AINear Fault Observatories (NFO) are multidisciplinary research infrastructures focused on collecting high-resolution data near active faults to study earthquake physics and preparatory phases. The NFO community in Europe comprises 6 permanent members and 2 observers, operating modern infrastructures with geochemical, geodetic, seismic, and geophysical sensors.
The NFO-TCS integrates diverse datasets into a federated network with common standards, distributing data via the FRIDGE portal and the EPOS Data Portal for open access. Services include real-time monitoring, early warning system testing (via CREW), and advanced scientific products for seismic hazard estimation and risk mitigation.
EPOS, the European Plate Observing System, underpins this effort by providing long-term access to solid Earth science data and services, addressing societal challenges related to geo-hazards and geodynamic phenomena.
