The Transverse Thematic Action on Seismicity unveils its website

The Transverse Thematic Action on Seismicity has just launched its website.

sismicite.epos-france.fr

Most of the work on characterising and monitoring French seismicity and the associated seismic hazard is carried out by teams from organisations that are members of the Epos-France consortium and is largely based on data from Epos-France’s observation resources.

In 2016, several Résif partners wanted to formalise this situation within the framework of Résif: the Seismicity Transverse Action (ATS) was born. The aim of the ATS was to coordinate all work on seismicity within a single structure in order to increase the efficiency and visibility of the work carried out. In particular, the aim was to produce and distribute products based on Résif data, focusing on knowledge of French seismicity and the associated hazard.

ATS became ATTS (with an extra “T” for “Thématique”) in 2023 with the creation of Epos-France. Today, ATTS is a major player in seismic hazard characterisation projects in France, both in the French West Indies and in mainland France. It has also made a major contribution to the emergence of a structured approach to the study of active faults in France (Fact), and will soon have a dedicated approach to seismic risk.

To meet the need for visibility of its projects and skills, the Epos-France ATTS has created its own website, which will provide information on its activities and results. The web site is available in french only.
