ANR PrESENCE
The project proposes an alternative approach: provide and share significantly more advanced open-access scientific knowledge to the stakeholders (e.g. general public, journalists, politicians, citizens). The PrESENCE project will explore a new paradigm for monitoring induced seismicity in an urban setting. More specifically, we expect to reach a major break-through by deploying a large set of low-cost seismometers in distributed buildings with (near) real-time transmission using internet, together with the involvement of local public authorities and residents.
The objective is threefold:
- To significantly improve underground imaging and monitoring in urban context by densifying the existing monitoring seismic network and allowing the use of dense array approaches
- To provide advanced public scientific information to the local community as a citizen observatory for induced seismicity
- To develop a social science framework for monitoring the evolution of the societal perception of EGS technology. We expect to develop the PrESENCE project as a pilot in France for other cases where induced seismicity is a public concern
