National network
ICOS FRANCE :
The ICOS France network consists of 23 stations, including 16 Ecosystem stations, four Atmosphere stations, and one Ocean station. ICOS France manages the Atmosphere Thematic Centre (ATC) located in Saclay, as well as part of the Ecosystem Thematic Centre (ETC) hosted by the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment (INRAE).
AnaEE FRANCE :
The national infrastructure AnaEE France provides the scientific community, businesses, and civil society organizations with access to the study of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems through experimental platforms distributed across both metropolitan and overseas French territories. It also supports research projects by offering analytical platforms dedicated to the study of ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, as well as data production and modeling pipelines.
CatInDoRES INEE :
Cat.InDoRES is a shared metadata catalogue that brings together records from InDoRES, as well as from the Human-Environment Observatories (OHM – LabEx DRIIHM) and the Workshop Zones (RZA – eLTER) networks. It provides standardized discovery metadata on datasets and databases. The project is supported by the French National Museum of Natural History and the CNRS Institute of Ecology and Environment.
OSU OREME:
In a world undergoing rapid transformation, environmental upheavals are becoming increasingly visible and tangible. In response to these challenges, the Montpellier Research Observatory on the Environment (OREME) brings together over 1,200 scientists from CNRS, the University of Montpellier, IRD, and INRAE, spread across eight laboratories.
This consortium is dedicated to observing changes in the Earth, Water, and Biodiversity systems in order to better understand the ongoing transformations. It also contributes to the study of the Universe, enriching our knowledge of the world around us, at all scales. Understanding the transformations taking place around us is also about preparing for them, both individually and collectively.
Réseau européen :
ICOS EUROPE :
The mission of ICOS Europe is to produce standardized, high-precision, and long-term observations, and to facilitate research aimed at understanding the carbon cycle as well as providing the necessary information on greenhouse gases. We encourage technological developments and demonstrations related to greenhouse gases by linking research, education, and innovation. With ICOS high-precision data, we aim to support policy-making and decision-making to combat climate change and its impacts.
ETC ICOS :
ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) is a European Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) for quantifying and understanding the greenhouse gas balance of the European continent and of adjacent regions (www.icos-ri.eu). It is organized in three different components (Atmosphere, Ecosystems, Oceans) and each of them is coordinated by a Thematic Centre.
This website host the ICOS Ecosystem Thematic Centre construction phase, providing all the information available and introducing the actual network of sites. The sections available on the top bar menu offer access to the documentation, working groups for protocols and demonstration experiment sites.
AnaEE Europe :
AnaEE-ERIC (Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems) is a European research infrastructure. Its service catalogue includes more than 60 highly instrumented facilities, offering services for the study of ecosystems under various pressures, such as climate change, land management, pollution, and more. All types of continental ecosystems are represented, including tropical, mountainous, wetland, forest, freshwater, and agro-ecosystems.
