TCS-Near Fault Observatoriesfor EPOS IP

NFO: a modern vision of EQKs scienceOne of the EPOS goal is the “…promotion of innovative approaches for a better understanding of the physical processes controlling earthquakes …” thus EPOS is the natural house for hosting services based on high-resolution multidisciplinary near fault data and products collected by innovative (in situ & dense) research infrastructures

Tectonic regime of the sites goes from plate boundaries to mountain ranges. Strike-slip and (steep-low) angle normal faulting.

NFOs cover areas characterised by a broad range of strain rate values (3-30 mm/yr) activating well developed large crustal faults and complex networks of smaller fault segments.

• Greece and Mid Atlantic rift (10-20 mm/yr);• Plate boundaries (Eurasia-Anatolian,

25mm/yr);• Apennines belt and Alpine region (2-4

mm/yr).

TCS-NFO need a BOARD to guarantee:o TCS governance, legal and financial issueso TASKs harmonization and interoperability (TCS, ICS)o coherent implementation of the serviceso strategic link with both the EPOS BSC and the NRIo scientific community and global collaboration (e.g. ICDP, EarthScope)o national and international projects (e.g. Supersites, I3, National priorities)

Board composition: one representative of each pillar (3) node (6) = 9 people

The NFOs Board will establish a WORK PLAN and activities EVALUATION CRITERIA to CONSOLIDATE the RESULTS.

Solutions for implementing the governance (e.g. MOU) should be explored to guarantee TRANSPARENCY and SHARE RESOURCES.

Data policy.We will follow the EPOS (open, IAAA) data policy.Temporary delay could be also needed in the case of a large event within the NFO. Research data (in projects) can be embargoed for a reasonable time.

Manpower (2016-2018):Existing:• 8 man-months / yr at the primary node for technical support and implementation.• 2 man-months / yr at the secondary nodes for technical support.

Requested:• 1 man/year (for three years 2016-18) + 1.5 man/year (for one year) for metadata

definition, data standardisation and upload at the secondary nodes.

P2 – Test Beds Platform for experimenting the use of n-real time high-resolution data in

unique frameworks apart from the (inter-national) systems it will later be added to (EEW testing centre).

Not submitted to EPOS IP because we are not ready but NFO are available for sharing the environment and data products for:

o Multidisciplinary and/or Operational Earthquake Forecast (downscaling; we recorded within the NFOs events in the range M 0-5.3 in 2010-2014).

o Training and Educational projects involving students of diverse levels, local authorities and citizens (transnational access policy in I3-GIGANTIS project)

o Geo-hazard (clear) and Geo-resources (NFO sit on CO2 natural reservoirs and geothermal fields)

o Link with the SMEs for testing new and cheap instruments

P2 – Early Warning Testing Centres

How: • Realization and implementation

of a prototype at one (primary) node

• Duplication at secondary nodes

Euro-Med EEWtesting centre

Running EEW codesComparing results/performances

Sharing knowledge with end users

Testing centres for EEW (REAKT and other projects follow up) will• allow to understand current limits and potential for end-users and the public• provide a framework for rapid integration of innovative community-based ideas for

the practical implementation and development of these systems.

Manpower (2016-2018):Existing:• 6 man-months / yr at the primary node + 2 man-months/yr at the secondary

nodes (in total) for technical support and guidelines definition.

Requested: • 1 man/year (for three years 2016-18) to build EEW testing centre + 0.5 man for

one year (last year), to be distributed for the three partners for replicating testing centres and real-time testing.

P3 – Virtual NF Laboratory A common e-infrastructure to store and release all the data products

coming from the diverse disciplines.

VL will be based on a database populated with Standard and Specific Data products and metadata describing the data and the work flows.

Availability of basic web services and tools foro high Level (1-3) data discovery and (for human and machine-to-machine) and

availabilityo preliminary cross-disciplinary analysiso visualization of multidisciplinary time series and products

We will guarantee the data inter-operability with all the working groups providing complementary services (TCS-S, TCS-V and TCS-G), the EPOS-ICS, and with the inter-national HPC resources.

Potential NFOs

Governance and Legal

In order to guarantee the harmonization of the NFO activity and their interoperability with other TCS, the ICS and a coherent implementation of the specific services, the TCS-NFO needs to set up a Board.

The Board is expected to serve also as a strategic link with both the EPOS BSC and the NRI, dealing with scientific community, legal, governance and financial issues related to the NFOs.

The governance of the TCS is going to be organized around the NFO Board composed by one representative of each pillar (3) and of each node (6) for a total of 9 people.
