Synthesis
from AINear Fault Observatories (NFO) are advanced research infrastructures designed to study active faults and earthquake preparatory phases. They integrate multidisciplinary data—including geochemical, geodetic, seismic, and geophysical measurements—collected by high-resolution sensors near active faults.
The NFO community in Europe comprises 8 permanent members and 12 organizations, operating across tectonically diverse regions. Through the NFO-TCS, these observatories share standardized data via the EPOS Data Portal and FRIDGE, enabling open access to fault-zone datasets and advanced scientific products.
Key services include real-time monitoring, Early Warning System testing (CREW), and the development of ground-shaking scenarios to enhance seismic hazard assessment and risk mitigation for vulnerable populations.
