ORFEUS (Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology)

Many ESC members are involved with ORFEUS (Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology), which acts as the centre of a network of broadband data providers, users and researchers. It operates the ORFEUS Data Centre (ODC) and provides a wide range of services, primarily access to waveform data from the European-Mediterranean area. Its co-ordination programme has been based at KNMI, Netherlands, since 1993 following its foundation at Utrecht University in 1987. ORFEUS is governed by an international board of directors and executive committee.  ORFEUS has close links with EMSC through a joint ORFEUS/EMSC coordinating committee and a scientific advisory board. For more information go to the ORFEUS home page.
