NERIES Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology Torild van Eck, Domenico Giardini, Rémy Bossu, Stefan Wiemer Addressing a European infrastructure challenge: Archival and availability of seismological data gathered by observatories and research facilities in Europe and its surroundings Coordinator: Domenico Giardini (ORFEUS/ETHZ) Manager: Torild van Eck (ORFEUS/KNMI) Participants: ORFEUS, EMSC + 23 institutes; 13 European countries Duration: June 1, 2006 – May 31, 2010 EC-contribution: 12.1 M€ www.neries-eu.org www.orfeus-eu.org www.emsc-csem.org NERIES: 17 interconnected activities Infrastructure Networking • Real-time data exchange (ORFEUS/Dost) • Distributed European waveform data archive (GFZ/Hanka) • Distributed European historical data archive (INGV/Stucchi) • Access to European accelerometer data (ICC/Roca) • Broadband OBS networking (IPGP/Singh) • Portal and data services (EMSC/Bossu) • Technology Transfer (workshops, grants) (KNMI/van Eck) Infrastructure Research • European seismological reference model (INGV/Morelli) • Real-time hazard tools (ETHZ/Wiemer) • Shake-maps and rapid loss estimation (Kandilli/Erdik) • Geotechnical site characterization (LGIT/Bard) • New approaches to data mining (UnLiverpool/Rietbrock) Infrastructure Access (grants) • Dense broadband network seismology SDSN/ETHZ (Christofferson) • Verification seismology CEA/DASE (Guilbert) • Historical seismograms SISMOS (INGV/Michelini) • Array seismology NORSAR (Schweitzer) • Instrumentation test facility CONRAD (ZAMG/Lenhardt) • NERIES: The first step towards a European Integrated Earthquake data infrastructure for research (ESFRI/EPOS) • NERIES e-science part aims at collaboration with other Earth Science partners (also in Europe) • NERIES builds on a long-standing platform for data exchange agreements and formats in earthquake data (EMSS) www.neries-eu.org Goal brainstorming session Promote a discussion between IT-specialists, users and the NERIES developments team to map the needs and technical possibilities European-scale web-service for seismological earthquake data. The outcome is expected to be two-fold: • A short-term program with a number of proposals for specific web applications. • A long-term strategy for user friendly portal developments integrating relevant IT developments and seismological software tools. www.neries-eu.org Group targets (outcome at this meeting) (short) document containing: - clear user oriented concept - technical description + required development - relation and implementation within NERIES portal concept - development plan - possible financial and man-power plan - involved (interested) teams - responsibilities - presentation Friday afternoon www.neries-eu.org
