The catalogue of 1987–2023 earthquakes in the western (French) Alps north of 43.5°N

International audienceThe western Alpine belt is the focal point of moderate but constant seismic activity. Numerous geodynamic and seismological studies underline the many scientific questions linked to Alpine dynamic processes and the associated rate of deformation resulting from late continental collision phases, and the assessment of seismic hazard and its associated risks. Seismic monitoring in the northern French Alps was launched in 1987 with the installation of the first seismological network, hosted by the Earth Science Observatory at Grenoble Alpes University. Since then, the network has been updated over the years, keeping pace with technical developments in seismic instrumentation, monitoring and data management. The homogenization of information described in this scientific data paper is motivated by the need for a single instrumental seismic catalogue. The final catalogue SISMalp-1987-2023 contains 50,822 earthquakes with completeness magnitude lower than 1; it can serve as a basis for all general seismotectonic and risk assessment studies in the region

A new European service to share GNSS Data and Products

International audienceThis paper describes the new GNSS data and product services that have been developed within the context of the EPOS (European Plate Observing System) European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), which is part of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures. These services, optimized for Solid Earth research applications, endeavour to harmonise, and standardise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data collection and processing. They have been implemented by the members of the GNSS Data & Products (EPOS-GNSS), one of the Thematic Core Services (TCS) of EPOS with the active support of national and pan-European infrastructures (in particular the Regional Reference Frame Sub-Commission for Europe (EUREF) of the International Association of Geodesy). The optimized use of data from dozens of diverse European GNSS networks, installed not specifically for geodynamic studies, created additional requirements from an organizational and technical point of view, the solutions for which we describe in this article. The data flows from data suppliers and analysis centers to the various TCS Data & Product Portals are described, as well as their integration into the overall EPOS system. This is made through GLASS (GNSS Linkage Advanced Software System), a dedicated software package developed since 2016, whose architecture and functionalities are detailed here. Time series and other GNSS products computed at the several analysis centers are described as are the quality control steps that are performed. Finally, several user cases are presented that demonstrate how different stakeholders (from data providers to scientists) can benefit from the efforts being carried out by the EPOS- GNSS community
