Deep Geothermal Data Center

The Deep Geothermal Data Center (CDGP) is part of ITI GeoT WG8 Data management.

The core mission of the CDGP is to collect, archive, preserve, and distribute high-quality data acquired at deep EGS geothermal sites in the Alsace region (Upper Rhine Graben), while respecting intellectual property rights. The CDGP gathers seismological, hydraulic, geological and geodetic (GNSS) data from major sites such as Soultz-sous-Forêts, Rittershoffen, and Vendenheim, organized into time-correlated "episodes" linking geophysical measurements to industrial operations. Data access requires registration, ensuring compliance with the distribution rules set by data owners. As the French national node of the EPOS Thematic Core Service on Anthropogenic Hazards, the CDGP makes its datasets available to the European scientific community through the EPISODES platform, supporting open science and interdisciplinary R&D. It was also part of the European Geo-INQUIRE project, continuously expanding its data types and services for the geoscience community.

The CDGP is an active participant in the European Plate Observing System’s (EPOS) Thematic Core Services Anthropogenic Hazards (TCS AH) Platform (tcs.ah-epos.eu), where users can make use of a new and novel e-research infrastructure that gives access to site-specific data. This new platform is connected to international data storage nodes that offer open access to grouped datasets associated with industrial activity. The platform also provides an extensive range of data visualisation, processing, and analysis applications to help users better understand these data.

The EPOS TCS AH team has recently published a comprehensive explanation of the TCS AH platform’s capabilities in Scientific Data. The article is available in Open Access, for all to read in full.
