European Plate Observing System

EPOS is the pan-European Research Infrastructure for solid Earth science. Our vision is to promote open science by ensuring open, free, and seamless access to multi-disciplinary solid Earth science data and products for all stakeholders. The launch of the EPOS Data Portal (https://www.epos-eu.org/dataportal) in April 2023 is not only a key milestone towards this overarching goal , but also a direct contribution to the implementation of the GEO vision of a coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observation information and services informing decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind. The EPOS Data Portal is designed to help scientist achieving a better understanding of the physical and chemical processes governing natural phenomena of the Earth system, improving the knowledge to support solving problems, addressing and mitigation of natural hazards, and supporting evidence-based predictions of the future behavior of Earth systems.
