French Global Network of broad band seismic stations
The GEOSCOPE Observatory is a Global Network of Broad Band Seismic Stations.
These stations are recording continuously the ground motion. Data of most of the stations are arriving in real-time to the IPGP Data Center and are archived after validation.
The GEOSCOPE Observatory provides data and informations for earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 5.5-6. Similar information may be provided for smaller earthquakes, for example those located in France or in the European-Mediterranean region.

Marc Chaussidon, director The mission of the IPGP is not only to create and to transmit
knowledge in Earth sciences, but also to observe natural
phenomena.
The Institut conducts researches in all fields of solid Earth
studies (Geophysics, Geochemistry, Quantitative Geology)
by combining terrestrial and marine observation as well as
laboratory analysis and measurement with the development
of conceptual, analogical and digital models.
