Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris

The Institute of Earth Physics of Paris was created with the objective of understanding the intimate operation of the Earth, from its core to the surface, by using the methods of physics and chemistry and the tools of mathematics and data processing. We work under the leadership of Professor Jean-Pierre Vilotte with his colleagues on the VERCE project, investigating data-intensive and architectural challenges that arise when providing seismologists with distributed e-Infrastructure from HPC centres to seismology archives and data-intensive clusters.
