IPOC is an international network of institutions and scientists organising and operating a distributed system of instruments and projects dedicated to the study of the subduction system, its role in landscape evolution, and associated geohazards at the continental margin of Chile. IPOC aims to reduce vulnerability to geological hazards by improving the scientific understanding of hazardous events through long-term observation and scientific collaboration. IPOC fosters research across disciplines, including geology, seismology, geodesy, volcanology, geomorphology, and georesources.
IPOC was established in 2006 as an international cooperation between the Chilean universities (Universidad Católica del Norte, Antofagasta, the Universidad de Chile with the associated Centro Sismológico Nacional, Santiago), French (IPGP, ENS), and German research institutions (GFZ, GEOMAR. IPOC is built upon decades of previous collaborations between Chilean, German, and French scientists.
The backbone of IPOC’s monitoring capabilities is a network of currently 22 multi-sensor sites, where seismic (strong- and weak-motion), continuous GNSS (at twelve sites), magnetotellurics (at some sites), and climate data are registered at co-located sites. IPOC maintains a number of additional strong-motion and weak-motion seismographs, continuous GNSS receivers, Creepmeters, and volcano monitoring networks.
