Lizurek and WG10 Team
1. Technical Plan
1. WG Pillar Structure
WG10 Thematic Core Service (WG10 TCS) will be composed of four pillars:




Pillar I “Acquisition of Induced Seismicity Episodes”. An induced seismicity (IS)
episode are all data describing comprehensively a separate anthropogenic seismicity
case. The IS episode comprises time-correlated seismic and relevant production data
supplemented with other geo-data: geological, geomechanical, geodetic, etc.
Pillar II “InSilico Experiments Including Technology-oriented Seismic Hazard”. These
are common software tools for data handling and visualization, standard and
advanced software for research, including software based on newly proposed
algorithms for tests and development. The pillar will make possible using the
integrated software as a software library in own researchers’ programs. In case of
need IS TCS will provide HPC facility.
Pillar III “Document Repository” will integrate documents: scientific publications,
peer reviewed and unreviewed reports, recommendations, expert opinions,
manuals, instrument specifications etc.
Pillar IV “Outreach, Education, Users’ Feedback”. This pillar plays an outstanding role
in connection with the fact that IS research community is located in the field of
conflict between industry and public. WG10 TCS as a platform grouping experts in
the field around the integrated infrastructure aims to serve the public sector by
expert knowledge and background information. The outreach service will be
dedicated to the public sector and local administration bodies. WG10 TCS of EPOS
will provide rational, well-documented information on the phenomenon of
anthropogenic seismicity and associated hazards directed to general public. Tools
for education and training are also foreseen. They will facilitate more inter- and
multidisciplinary approach to education, and provide opportunity for students to
obtain competences in the IS field as well as foster cooperative approach in
education.

Technical description of the implementation of WG10 TCS prototype
The prototype will become operational within 2014. It will have a full functionality of the
final WG10 TCS and it will be developed to this final form during the construction phase of
EPOS. In order to reach the goal of prototype’s full functionality implementation plan (ISEPOS project) includes also other two layers of IS RI integration. The whole set built in the
framework of IS-EPOS project consists of: layer of acquisition of IS and related data of
individual IS episodes, IS episodes acquisition and adaptation within Data Centers (DC) layer,
and integration of DC resources and software solutions in WG10 TCS. WG10 TCS prototype
will deal with one DC and seven IS episodes from different inducing technologies from 3
countries.
The main technical aims of WG10 TCS are: (1) to register DC and facilitate bi-directional
communication with DC. WG10 TCS stores metadata on the data located in DC; (2) to verify
the quality of the research infrastructure reported by DC both in terms of subject matter and
formal point of view as well as registers these resources in its metadata database; (3) to
manage registration and offer services i.e. software tools to users. A part of the software
resources will be released for download by WG10 TCS users. The software resources
envisaged for the prototype of WG10 TCS are mainly selected to enable an examination of a
scientific problem "Clustering of induced seismicity events - identification and reasons". This
is a broad, important and current scientific issue. Both theoretical and observational works
indicate strong relationships between seismic events resulting from their reciprocal
influence.
WG10 TCS computing resources to manage, store and analyze induced seismicity data will
be provided by PL-Grid infrastructure of which Academic Computer Centre CYFRONET is a
coordinator.
Data Center will collect the mentioned seven IS episodes and upload them, on user’s
request, to WG10 TCS. The main tasks of the Data Center are: (1) to register infrastructure
providers. As part of this project, upon DC establishment, three infrastructure providers are
to be registered: Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Central Mining
Institute and Coal Company S.A. – Bobrek – Centrum coal mine. DC will be however open for
registration and servicing of further providers of research infrastructure; (2) to receive data
from data providers by data download interfaces. Some IS episodes will include seismic data
recorded continuously by DC data download interfaces, other processed: triggered signals
and seismic catalogs; (3) to convert provided analog data into a relevant digital form; (4) to
convert digital data formats to formats acceptable by TCS; (5) to prepare metadata for the
received data; (6) to communicate with TCS. DC created in the framework of IS-EPOS project
will be located in the premises of Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences.
The array of the future users of WG10 TCS prototype will be the same as in case of the final
TCS in EPOS. The WG10 TCS prototype will be the first example of organized integration of IS
RI in the global scale. WG10 TCS will implement educational functions for universities and
other educational centers. An important group of users will be industrial users such as
infrastructure providers and recipients of scientific research results implemented in their
custom activities. TCS is to assist in the development of these methods and rules as to
manage the exploitation of natural assets in a better way. Thanks to the science and industry
synergy, science gains access to induced seismicity data collected in industrial centers
whereas industry – access to new and fully tested solutions. In this way the competitiveness
of both science and industrial centers increases. Central and local public administration
bodies, crisis management centers, insurers, investors and interested representatives of the
broad society will be important users as well. The WG10 TCS goal, among others, is to
increase the social understanding and proper assessment of hazards and risk related to the
anthropogenic seismicity by providing basic information and specialized know-how on SI.
2. WG progress on shared strategy for TCS governance
The governance model of the EPOS WG10 TCS foreseen for after reaching the full
operational phase is (Fig. 2):
a. ISN Council (ISNC) composed of WG10 National Contact Persons;
Tasks: recommends WG10 TCS Managing Officers; nominates Scientific & Technical
Board (S&TB); provides general recommendations for TCS Management; provides
general recommendations for S&TB; approves reports of activity and operational
plans.
b. Scientific & Technical Board (S&TB);
Tasks: reviews research activity in the field of hazards evoked by exploitation of
georesources and suggests and prioritizes its objectives; monitors and evaluates TCS
usefulness, modifies strategy of TCS; recommends changes of TCS functions and
construction for upgrading its usefulness; recommends technical modifications.
c. Quality Control Section (QCS);
Tasks: Controls quality of the substantive content of infrastructure being integrated
and of services provided. QCS comprises:
• Data Section
• Software Section
• Reports Section
• Service Section
d. ICT Section;
Tasks: maintenance and development of e-platform.
e. Promotion & Collaboration Section;
Tasks: Promoting TCS in various environments: governmental, academia, industry,
public; actions to increase and develop the integrated infrastructure; stakeholders
engagement, contact and collaboration with industrial partners.
Fig. 2 Proposed administration/governance model for WG10 TCS
Initial Assessment of Human Resource Requirements
For the operational phase of WG10 TCS human resources would be required:
 TCS Council: 13 persons - 1.0 FTEs
 TCS Management: 5 persons - 4.0 FTEs
 S&TB: 15 persons – 2.5 FTEs
 QCS: 5 persons - 4.5 FTEs
 ICTS: 5 persons – 5.0 FTEs
 PCS: 2 persons – 2.0 FTEs
 Coordination at Data Center: 1 person – 0.5 FTEs a Center
During the implementation and construction phase additional resources would be required,
e.g. the 0.5 – 1 FTE to integrate WG10 TCS with the EPOS Portal through the Compatibility
Layer.
3. Plan to provide access to data products of higher level in data taxonomy
According to adopted by EPOS data taxonomy, the integrated IS research infrastructure is
divided into five group:
Level 0: Raw-data related to IS episodes: continuous and event waveforms, relevant
technological data (maps of technological environment, injection pressure, front advance,
lake level etc.), measurements of various physical parameters (stress, geomechanical
parameters, etc.);
Level 1: Data-products coming from nearly automated procedures (e.g. earthquake
locations, magnitudes, focal mechanisms, source parameters, extracted volumes, injection
rates, etc.);
Level 2: Data-products resulting from research (e.g., strain maps, earthquake source models,
compiled catalogues, velocity models, 3D stress field changes due to production, rock
sample tests results, geological data, etc.);
Level 3: Data products integrating seismic, technological data and other geodata (e.g.
technology (time) dependent hazards maps, surface impacts studies, seismo-technological
rockmass models, cause-effect studies, hazard management and hazard conditioned
optimization of production process, recommendations, know how, training materials,
tutorials, etc.);
Level 4: Computer software: acquired, contributed and generated software.
We plan to have an open access to all WG10 TCS resources form the level 0-2 for registered
users. On request of data provider, a small part of research infrastructure can be temporarily
located in a restricted area. Decisions for such cases will be taken by TCS management. An
open access to some TCS resources can be problematic. For instance TCS will have hazard
assessment services but hazard estimates can be easily converted into „risk information”.
Hazard estimates should be assessed and conveyed in a competent way. Because of that
hazard assessment services cannot be fully public. In this connection RI from levels 3-4 will
be basically open but we envision that some information and services can be located in
restricted area. Software openness will be determined by software providers under
acceptance of TCS management.
4. Plan to link TCS to ICS (contribution to metadata catalogue and compatibility layer,
interoperability among services,....)
In order to achieve compatibility with EPOS central hub and ICS, the WG10 TCS is built with
all recommendations provided by WG7. For smooth cooperation between WG10 and WG7
one of the WG7 members is also a member of WG10. A few technical details concerning
TCS/ICS compatibility are given in the following sections.
 Metadata catalogue
To achieve compatibility at this level WG10 provides detailed information
concerning IS metadata for WG7. As a result we expect a core set of metadata
common among all WGs enriched with WGs’ specific sets. That way any user can
easily reach information he/she needs. To assure EPOS-CERIF compatibility either
WG10 CERIF setup will be provided or a 100% CERIF-compatible system. CERIF
applicability for WG10 purposes is currently in test phase.
 WG10 TCS services
To speed up the ICS/TCS integration, and at the same time lower the amount of
work needed for it the WG10 TCS services are built as web services. TCS architecture
is based on InSilicoLab technology. This technology implements open, widely
accepted standards, with known API. These key factors make it easy to integrate
with ICS web services.
 Data compatibility
Data of EPOS community, including WG10 are stored in several data formats. WG10
works closely with WG7 on this topic in order to achieve data compatibility. As a
result we expect EPOS to provide common tools allowing users transparent access
to the community data.
 WGs Support, work duplication
In order to achieve compatibility layer between various WGs of EPOS WG10 is
actively involved in works of the Recommendation Board. We expect that the Board
will provide best practice examples, recommendations concerning standards used in
EPOS (above-mentioned metadata structure, protocols for data transfer, data
sharing strategies and many more). The involvement in Board works together with
WG7 will lower the work duplication that may take place among many WGs.
Employing standards, common tools, software, etc. several common issues can be
solved.
We expect that a number of new TCS/ICS issues will show up during the integration
process. However, we believe that they will be solved through close WG10/WG7
cooperation.
5. Scientific vision and the stakeholder interaction strategy for your own community
Scientific vision
Our mission is to create new research opportunities in the field responding to global
challenges connected with exploitation of georesources. We envision that WG10 TCS will be
involved in developing services/centers of studies of hazards linked to exploitation of
georesources.
Accurate assessment of human-induced seismic hazards and risks is a challenging research
problem, which needs a specific and adequate methodological approach and data collection.
Studies focused on the common physics of the fracturing processes associating different
technologies of georesources exploitation, however being in touch with technological
conditioning of these processes, will make it possible to accelerate recognition of these
processes and related hazards. WG10 TCS will serve also to strengthen cooperation between
science and the interested in research results: industry, administrative bodies, insurance
sector, NGO-s etc., ensuring a bi-directional mobility and transfer of knowledge between
these sectors.
WG10 scientific plan includes:




Similarities and particularities of seismic processes induced by different
technological activities.
Discrimination between the induced and natural seismicity
From time-dependent seismic hazard assessment to hazard management.
Optimizing production for hazard control
IS as a characterization tool for production enhancement





Optimization of IS monitoring strategies
IS response to technological activity in a long and short time-scale
Testing procedures and benchmark tests
Assessment and management of hazards induced by exploitation of georesources
Increasing awareness and understanding of the hazards induced by exploitation of
georesources
The stakeholder interaction strategy
Worldwide scientific community of IS is aware of the need of integration. This has been
expressed within activities of several world initiatives such as TAIS Triggered and Induced
Seismicity Working Group (TAIS WG) of the International Association of Seismology and
Physics of the Earth’s Interior (IASPEI) and the Teamwork for Hazard Assessment for Induced
Seismicity (THAIS). Thematic sessions on IS organized by TAIS WG during different
seismological and geophysical conferences (EGU, ESC and IUGG/IASPEI General Assemblies,
etc.) facilitate information exchange and bring together scientists. Community integration
initiatives, including EPOS and its WG10 are presented during these events. WG 10 TCS is
envisioned and presented to research community as primarily IT research platform
facilitating in-silco experimentation.
EPOS is on the ESFRI Roadmap and in some countries it is also on national RI roadmaps. This
results in better understanding of EPOS and WG-s aims and plans by national research
funding agencies. The interaction is based mainly upon the official communication channels.
On its community meetings WG10 urged its members to recognize possibilities of raising
funds at the national levels. Going along this strategy Polish members of WG10 applied and
obtained national financing of WG10 TCS prototype construction at the level of some
3.5MEuro. The membership of an industrial partners in the consortium of the
aforementioned project is a good example of the WG10 strategy of cooperation with
industry. WG10 members participate also in thematic georesources workshops, where they
have opportunities to present aims and goals of WG10 and gain new industrial partners (e.g.
XXIIIrd School of Undergrond Mining, D&P Forum Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2nd
ILP-Liebenberg Workshop: From Microseismicity to Large Earthquakes, engagement of
BESTEC GmbH Geothermal Exploration & Exploitation). WG10 also extends invitations to
industry to participate in periodical EPOS WG10 meetings.
Hazards associating georesources exploitation is carefully monitored by the society. WG10
taking into account ethical issues of industry-public interaction determines its position as a
third party and has been developing a wide strategy to convey competent fair information in
this respect to both, public and industry. This goal will be realized mostly within the fourth
pillar of WG10TCS: “Outreach, Education, Users’ Feedback”.
2. Financial Plan
1. Financial plan to support TCS and long-term financial sustainability
A preliminary 5-year financial plan for WG10 TCS implementation and the first part
operational phase is formulated according to inputs from WG10 members by using a
number of estimates and assumptions concerning particular countries future involvement in
the process of the IS research infrastructure integration and creation of WG10 TCS services.
Our assumptions are:
 WG10 countries involvement in the TCS implementation process
We assume that the following countries are engaged in the TCS implementation:
Poland, Italy, Sweden, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, France, Spain. However, we
foresee that in the 5-year perspective another countries will join this process, e.g. UK,
Iceland, Portugal and Switzerland.
 Number of the integrated IS episodes
We assume that in the first phase of EPOS construction we will integrate not more
than twenty IS episodes. However, we envision the increase of industrial partners
involvement in connection with the introduced stakeholders engagement strategy
(Paragraph 1.5). This will influence the bulk of integrated research infrastructure and
will have an impact on the demand for services and the type of infrastructure
incorporated in the financial plan.
 Number of services
In the implementation phase of WG10 TCS, during first phase of EPOS construction,
we assume to integrate only some existing (software) and create only some new
services. However, part of these services in and after testing phase will be developed
and new services will be created. Some of services could be built together with other
communities (WGs), e.g. services to integrate multidisciplinary data could be shared
with WG2, WG5b and WG8. Part of services envisaged in InSilico Pillar of WG10 TCS
can be adopted from WG1 TCS Computational Seismology Pillar. This will reduce
costs.
 WG10 TCS hosting
We plan to locate WG10 TCS in the Academic Computer Centre CYFRONET AGH in
Poland. WG10 TCS will be located on PL-Grid IT infrastructure (with HPC facility). ACC
CYFRONET AGH and other IT institutions building PL-Grid have vast knowledge
concerning provision of high quality and reliability infrastructure and serve other
research communities out of geosciences. The potential of hosting IT infrastructure
consists of approx. 360 Teraflops of computing power and more than 2.5 petabytes of
storage. ACC CYFRONET AGH coordinates PL-Grid infrastructure, whose total
resources consist of around 1000 Teraflops of computing power together with c.a. 10
petabytes of storage. Computing power at CYFRONET includes traditional computer
clusters, graphics processing units (GPGPU), the dedicated FPGA platform and systems
with shared memory such vSMP and SMP. With the high-speed network of 100 Gb/s,
these resources allow both sending/receiving large amounts of data (big-data) and
perform their analysis. In addition, the integral part of the computing infrastructure

consists general type services like grids and cloud computing as well as data
visualisation services.
Financial support at the national level
It is assumed that the current level of grant/project funding at the national level will
continue. Grants are a significant source of funding for running costs and maintenance
as well as acquisition of IS and related data of individual IS episodes. Being such, any
fluctuation of current levels is likely to have a substantial effect on the research
infrastructure adaptation within Data Centers (DC) layer and their integration with
software solutions in WG10 TCS, identified in the financial plan.
The TCS prototype construction costs are being covered by Polish national structural
funds at the level of 90% during this and the next year. The costs of integration of IS
episodes (pillar 1 of TCS) are assumed to be supported at national levels by some 60%,
the rest is needed to be funded from EU projects. Such a level of national support is
assumed based on information about the IS support in the WG10 countries in the last
five years. Pillars 2-4 should be mainly supported at the EU level (the national support
for these pillars is assumed in the financial plan to be some 10%). Flexible funding
model of EPOS-ERIC will hopefully support the implementation of these pillars and
also travel costs, meetings, costs concerning preparation of proposals for calls in
Horizon 2020. As presented before, Pillar 4: “Outreach, Education, Users’ Feedback”
has an outstanding role in the whole EPOS and its implementation should be strongly
encouraged and supported from EPOS Flexible funding model.

The costs of IT solutions for technical implementation of TCS are divided into four pillars of
TCS and added to final costs of these pillars than everything is summed in the sheet of The
preliminary financial scenario.
Financial sustainability
With rising demands for georesources: energy and minerals, the anthropogenic seismicity
appears in areas previously known as aseismic and in association with quite diverse
technological processes. The socio-economic impact of the induced seismicity is very
significant. Therefore countries invest a lot of money on research of induced seismicity and
other hazards caused by exploitation of georesources. Some of national expenditures in
WG10 partner countries on induced seismicity research, monitoring, coordination,
demonstration and development initiatives, including governmental and industrial grants
during last 5 years were very huge (At least 65 MEuro only for research infrastructure,
details in the last Preparatory document for the EPOS Thematic Services). This support
tackles the whole breath of all four pillars for WG10 TCS. We expect that the national
research program on research on (seismic) hazard due to exploitation of georesources will
continue during the next 5 years. We foresee also EU support through the EU Framework
Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon 2020, e.g. "LCE-16 2014: Understanding,
preventing and mitigating the potential environmental impacts and risks of shale gas
exploration and exploitation" and EPOS-ERIC support.
2. Types of actions within your TCS which could benefit from EPOS Flexible Funding
Flexible funding model of EPOS-ERIC will hopefully support the implementation of pillars 24 of WG10 TCS. The national support for these pillars is assumed in the financial plan to be
some 10%. EPOS flexible funding can also support travel costs, meetings, costs concerning
preparation of proposals for calls in Horizon 2020. Pillar 4: “Outreach, Education and User’s
Feedback” has an outstanding role in the whole EPOS and its implementation should be
strongly encouraged and supported from EPOS Flexible funding model.
3. Financial plan for existing TCS components
WG10 TCS is under implementation, there are no any existing components.
3. Legal Plan
1. Impact of EPOS-ERIC and the proposed governance model on the continuation and/or
construction of the TCS associated with your WG
EPOS-ERIC and the proposed governance model will influence WG10 TCS in the following:
- EPOS-ERIC will extend a guardianship over WG10 TCS in accordance with standards
laid down in relevant EU and national legislation;
- So far WG10 is the only WG in EPOS dealing with georesources in close,
indispensable collaboration with industry. Companies which owe and release
research infrastructure to EPOS WG10 TCS are called Industrial Partners. Their
interest must also be taken into account in EPOS data policy. WG10 wishes to follow
in general the EPOS data policy. However, WG10 TCS may be offering some services
and conditioning asses to some parts of data in the way differing from the EPOSERIC rules. For instance if EPOS-ERIC decides to charge industry for its use of EPOS
resources, such an obligation must not concern our Industrial Partners. Secondly, we
have decided that software providers under acceptance of TCS management
determine access rules to their products. This might disagree with EPOS-ERIC.
Therefore some parts of Pillar II: InSilico experiments including technology oriented
seismic hazard of WG10 TCS might be constructed and operated outside the EPOSERIC;
- We expect that the WG10 TCS interests will be represented properly in the EPOSERIC governance scheme and we wish to adopt the proposed TCS governance model
to the EPOS-ERIC governance;
- WG10 expects that financial sustainability of WG10 TCS will be supported by EPOSERIC;
- EPOS-ERIC can also help to develop WG10 TCS identity in European Research Area.
2. Integration plan of EPOS data policy and access rules
WG10 TCS will promote sharing RIs, knowledge and research activities freely between all
relevant actors, while at the same time respecting the intellectual property rights of the
providers of the data, who will retain ownership of the released RIs. The main aim of WG10
TCS is to provide a platform for free use of national and local IS RI. Access to and sharing of
IS data are essential for advancement of science. The restricted area parts of the integrated
RI in all categories of RIs (IS episodes, software and reports) are introduced only in the case
of distinct necessity. They are to prevent abuse of the integrated RI as well as to enable
careful observation of ethical issues. In general, an open access from in and out of IS
research community is assumed. Following, reports of studies using the integrated
infrastructure should be open and the use of infrastructure should be acknowledged.
Commercial use policies need to be developed. We envisage that commercial use licenses
may be determined under separate arrangements. Downloading materials from WG10 TCS
will require acceptance of Terms and Conditions.
Users will be required to identify themselves (registration) and to specify the purpose of use
of data. We consider EPOS ICS and TCS first of all as a research platform facilitating InSilico
experimentation. Services are envisioned as open to all registered users but the
experimentation is located in a restricted area. One of the WG10 TCS stakeholders group are
Industrial Partners that owe and provide data – IS episodes. In return they get free passive
access to all services, tested solutions, recommendations. They need also a recognition from
EPOS, which should be solved on the whole EPOS level as kind of a “partnership agreement”.
4. Organization and management
1. Most suitable organizational arrangement for your TCS, and the relationship between
its TCS central hub and the EPOS-ERIC
The following organizational arrangement of WG10 TCS is foreseen: comprehensive IS
episodes are collected and maintained in Data Centres of national institutions having rights
to and being responsible for these RI. The Data Centres are connected to the WG10 TCS
central hub. The TCS central hub receives, stores and updates metadatabase. The Data
Centers resources are available to users through the EPOS portal communicating with the
Central hub. Prompted by a user the hub accesses, replicates and makes available required
resources through communication/transmission protocols. Thematic services are
maintained in and provided by the TCS central hub. A user can download data, documents
and a part of software released to download from the central hub. Integrated core services
and thematic services made available by other TCS-s will be accessible at EPOS ICS level.
We plan to locate WG10 TCS central hub in the Academic Computer Centre CYFRONET AGH
in Poland. This institution provides PL-Grid infrastructure, which ensures completely the
needed ICT environment.
WG10 agreed to implement and construct most of TCS within EPOS-ERIC. Details are
provided in Section 3.1.
2. Integration plan of EPOS ethics issues within your TCS
There are some important issues that influence the organization and management of WG10
TCS. The most important are ethical issues. The most clear example is risk communication.
WG10 research community and their TCS is in the field of conflict between industry – a
potential damage maker, and public – a potential damage receiver. TCS is planned to have
hazard assessment services but hazard estimates can be easily converted into „risk
information”. Hazard estimates should be assessed and conveyed in a competent way and
because of that the hazard assessment services cannot be fully public. We need to have a
restricted area. Simultaneously, our duty is to prepare public and industry for proper
understanding of hazard estimates. That is why Pillar 4 of WG10 TCS “Outreach, Education
and User’s Feedback” is very important and must be built with great care. Furthermore, in
our opinion this task is also of paramount importance for the all EPOS community and
therefore Pillar 4 should be under a special care of the whole EPOS.
Specificity of WG10 TCS working with close relation with georesurces exploitation carried on
by Industrial Partners implies dealing with sensitive data of the Partners. It is extremely vital
that EPOS prevents this kind of data and information against an abuse.
3. Application plan for EPOS data policy
It is foreseen that data providers, who are public and/or private organization, will retain
data ownership rights. However, when uploading data to EPOS platform they will transfer
copyrights to EPOS. The data will reside in national and /or local Data Centres and on
request will be copied temporarily to EPOS users workspace.
