| Zusammenfassung |
| Vision: To establish and integrate geological base as support for the entire EPOS project; this
should include base topographic data, geological data, geophysical layers and specialist
layers such as fault distributions, quaternary features and neotectonic features. The
working group will champion the creation and integration of geological observatories
focussed on environmental processes and deep drilling to provide 3d control on
geological data. It will also integrate the infrastructure required to collect, refresh and
maintain these data for EPOS and, thus, make it available to the European research
community.
 Description: All disciplines in Earth Sciences are concerned with the study of the Earth,
with different methods, at different resolution and scale, and with different targets and
purpose. Besides these differences, all these subjects ultimately rely on and generate
geological information. Thus, comprehensive and easily accessible geological base
information is essential for leading research in Earth Sciences in Europe as part of EPOS.
This working group will: i) building on the OneGeology Europe project integrate existing
data and products into the EPOS data dissemination framework and define important
geological information and topics that require assimilation; ii) integrate geological research
infrastructure that will be used by EPOS, such as facilities and equipment for in-situ
geological observation and sampling (e.g., drill rigs including. logging and testing
equipment); iii) evaluate the potential to integrate analogue geological base information, such
as the long-term storage of samples and other geological material (e.g. drill core archive,
topical collections) and their availability to the research community. iv) extend
this approach to data acquisition by the integration of observatories that perform
in-situ measurements on and monitoring of geological processes (e.g. land slides,
hydrogeology, permafrost, coastal and basin erosion monitoring systems) into EPOS. |
