2025 EPOS TCS FLYER NFO 2025 ready-cut

March 2025

Synthesis

from AI

Near Fault Observatories (NFO) are advanced research infrastructures focused on collecting high-resolution data near active faults to study earthquake physics and preparatory phases.

The NFO community in Europe comprises 8 permanent members and 12 organizations, operating modern infrastructures with geochemical, geodetic, seismic, and geophysical sensors. These observatories integrate interdisciplinary data to develop advanced alert systems and improve seismic hazard estimation.

EPOS (European Plate Observing System) supports the NFO-TCS, which harmonizes and distributes data via a federated portal, offering open access to solid Earth science datasets. Services like FRIDGE and CREW enable data discovery, visualization, and performance testing of Earthquake Early Warning Systems, fostering resilience in tectonically active regions.
