Episodes platform European Plate Induced Seismicity Observations & Datasets within EPOS Services.
The integrated RIs are interconnected to form a functional digital laboratory allowing free virtual experimentation. A core of the setup is the EPISODES platform connected with the international data nodes. This international facility provides open access to accumulated resources. The shared resources consist of three components. The first is data, which are gathered in "episodes." An episode is a set of time-correlated geophysical, technological, and other relevant geo-data that comprehensively relates anthropogenic seismicity and other hazard-posing geophysical processes to its industrial cause. They comprise data on seismicity cases induced by eight industrial activities.
EPISODES platformThe second component is applications. Applications are problem-oriented, bespoke, and standard software tools to process and analyze data. They help to relate seismicity and technological factors for hazard assessment and other scientific targets. Much attention has been devoted to the implementation of applications for hazard analyses.
The third component is the IT environment for data modelling and analysis. It comprises the user's workspace, adequate hardware resources, including HPC systems, and other facilities that all grant quick and efficient execution of commissioned tasks. Platform functionalities also make it possible to combine the implemented applications with the user's codes in workflows to process either the data from available episodes or their uploaded data. In this way, scientific users have the conditions for unlimited virtual experimentation. Such experimentation can be carried out individually or commonly in a research group thanks to the collaboration functionalities of the EPISODES Platform.
