Résumé

Abstract The GEOSCOPE observatory (Institut de physique du globe de Paris [IPGP] and École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre de Strasbourg, 1982) provides more than four decades of high-quality continuous broadband data to the scientific community. Started in 1982 with only two stations, the network has grown over the years thanks to numerous international partnerships. At present, 34 stations operate in 18 countries across all continents and on islands throughout the oceans, filling important gaps in global Earth coverage. Most of the first installed stations are still running today, allowing for long-term observations, and new sites are being prospected to further improve global coverage. Over the years, GEOSCOPE has contributed to defining today’s global seismology standards (data format, data quality level, instrumentation requirements), being the French contribution to the international effort for global seismic observations. The stations are instrumented with the best quality seismometers (from the very first STS-1 in the early 80s to the last STS-6A and Trillium T360 today) and digitizers (Q330HR and Centaur) to record with high fidelity the ground motions generated by all types of seismic sources. Real-time data are sent to the tsunami warning centers and both validated and real-time data are available at the IPGP, Epos-France and Earthscope data centers. The quality of GEOSCOPE data and metadata is ensured by daily and yearly validation that enables issue detection and mitigation. GEOSCOPE, in collaboration with the other global networks, has played and continues to play a crucial role in the study of Earth’s structure and global dynamics and the characterization of all types of seismic sources.
