EstOF temporary passive seismic experiment in the Outre-Forêt region (Alsace, France)

Description

he EstOF network consists in 288 miniaturized seismic stations (Zland nodes, 1C, 10Hz) installed between August 25th 2014 and September 30th 2014 in the Outre-Forêt region (Alsace, France) around the deep geothermal sites of Soultz-sous-Forêts and Rittershoffen. A regular grid of 260 stations separated by ~1.4km forms the backbone of the network, which was completed by a denser array of 28 stations every ~400m around the Rittershoffen site.

This data has been acquired in the framework of the LABEX ANR-11-LABX-0050-G-EAU-THERMIE-PROFONDE and benefits from a funding from the state managed by the French National Research Agency (ANR) as part of the ‘Investments for the Future’ program. It has also been funded by the EGS Alsace Grant from ADEME. The seismic equipment was deployed during the summer 2014 by the EstOF Team : J. Vergne, M. Bès de Berc, H. Blumentritt, N. Cuenot, C. Doubre, R. Dretzen, Z. Duputel, F. Engels, M. Grunberg, H. Jund, S. Lambotte, O. Lançon, M. Lehujeur, O. Lengliné, A. Maggi, V. Maurer, M. Schaming, J. Schmittbuhl, H. Wodling. Equipment and support was provided by the Fairfield Nodal company during the EstOF experiment.
