EPOS-NL

The European Plate Observing System – Netherlands (EPOS-NL) is a Dutch national research infrastructure for solid Earth sciences. EPOS-NL is a cluster of large-scale geophysical facilities for research on georesources. It develops innovative research facilities and integrates these with existing, world-class facilities into a coherent infrastructure.

This infrastructure makes these research facilities and data available to national and international researchers, with the goal of addressing key geo-societal challenges. These include:

  •   Exploration for (renewable) geo-energy resources 
  •   Storage of fuels, CO2 and wastewater in the sub-surface, and 
  •   Hazards such as induced or natural earthquakes

EPOS-NL funds the research infrastructure for the campus geothermal well (DAPwell) and laboratory infrastructure including micro-CT core scanner. These facilities are open for use, please contact Susanne Laumann for more information about this.
