Synthesis
from AIEPOS Seismology TCS is a technical component of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) that provides standardized access to seismological and earthquake-related data. It integrates services from key European infrastructures—ORFEUS (waveform data), EMSC/AHEAD (earthquake parameters), and EFEHR (seismic hazard products)—into a unified portal for open scientific use. By harmonizing data from academic institutions, observatories, and agencies, the TCS supports research on Earth’s interior structure, earthquake mechanics, and hazard mitigation. EPOS, as a multidisciplinary research infrastructure, aims to address societal challenges related to geo-hazards and environmental phenomena through long-term data accessibility.
