Launch of the ANR E-City project

The ANR project “E-City: Near-fault observation and simulation of earthquake ground motion in an urban environment” will be launched on February 15, 2022 at 2 pm.

This project aims to go beyond the current framework of seismic risk assessment, by integrating recent advances in research on seismic data observation and numerical modeling in the near-fault environment.

• Gustave Eiffel project leader: Fabian Bonilla
• Partners: BRGM, ENS, UGA, CNRS
