Science Gateways and Computational Tools for Improving Earthquake Research

Date: 4/24/2019

Time: 4:15 PM to 5:30 PM

Room: Elliott Bay

Science gateways allow research communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, educational materials and other resources. Advances in earthquake science are becoming increasingly tied to the ability to fuse and model multiple data types, requiring advances in computational infrastructure. Earthquake scientists must rely on computational laboratories to integrate disparate data sets and perform simulation experiments, particularly because earthquake processes span multiple spatial and temporal scales, ranging from microscopic, millisecond source physics to long-term, global tectonic scales. This session focuses on identifying best technologies and management strategies of science gateways for facilitating data access and science analysis through user interfaces, middleware and community networking capabilities. Abstracts discussing advances in computational infrastructure and data synthesis for enhancing earthquake science, including software, supercomputing, simulation models, sensor technology, heterogeneous data sets, cloud computing, management of huge data volumes and development of community standards are encouraged. Abstracts identifying management strategies and recommendations for analytics software to provide a feedback loop for making science gateways useful are also encouraged.
