Seismic resolution across the rift-drift transition, particularly in the mantle, is extremely limited due to the sparsity of broadband ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) offshore at rifted margins.The eastern North American passive margin (ENAM) is an excellent location to study the tectonics of the rifted continent-ocean transition (COT). ENAM is a mature passive margin resulting from the rifting of Pangaea at ∼230-200 Ma (Withjack et al., 2012). There has been relatively little deformation at ENAM since the transition

“…The first of the three subcomponents is the general entry point for the UCIS4EQ system. It has been designed as a service that enquiries earthquake data centers via the International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) web service interface [22]. Such a federation is composed of the global and regional online seismic data centres, such as the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), United States Geological Survey (USGS), Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), or GEOFON.…”

“…All of them share the single mission of extracting the earthquake information related to each new event in the minimum possible time. Additionaly, the FDSN has developed a data exchange format called Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data (SEED) for the distribution of seismic information that has become the main method for seismological data exchange between independent networks and data centers worldwide via web servers [22]. Hence, the notification subcomponent acts as a contact point between the agencies and the UCIS4EQ system, by continuously enquiring data centers for either new events or updated information on recent ones.…”

Deadly earthquakes are events that are unpredictable, relatively rare and have a huge impact upon the lives of those who suffer their consequences. Furthermore, each earthquake has specific characteristics (location, magnitude, directivity) which, combined to local amplification and de-amplification effects, makes their outcome very singular. Empirical relations are the main methodology used to make early assessment of an earthquake's impact. Nevertheless, the lack of sufficient data registers for large events makes such approaches very imprecise. Physics-based simulators, on the other hand, are powerful tools that provide highly accurate shaking information. However, physical simulations require considerable computational resources, a detailed geological model, and accurate earthquake source information.A better early assessment of the impact of earthquakes implies both technical and scientific challenges. We propose a novel HPCbased urgent seismic simulation workflow, hereafter referred to as Urgent Computing Integrated Services for EarthQuakes (UCIS4EQ), which can deliver, potentially, much more accurate short-time reports of the consequences of moderate to large earthquakes. UCIS4EQ is composed of four subsystems that are deployed as services and connected by means of a workflow manager. This paper describes those components and their functionality. The main objective of UCIS4EQ is to produce ground-shaking maps and other potentially useful information to civil protection agencies. The first demonstrator will be deployed in the framework of the Center of Excellence for Exascale in Solid Earth (ChEESE, https://cheese.coe.eu/, last access: 12 Feb. 2020).

“…We consider the scientific life cycle to be the sociotechnical ensemble of activities of a particular field of practice and the associated artifacts . The scientific life cycles discussed in this article involve activities, workflows, stages, and products specific to the field of embedded networked sensing with application in the environmental sciences (Estrin, Michener, & Bonito, 2003; Michener & Brunt, 2000; Szewczyk et al, 2004) and seismology (Ahern, 2000; Suarez et al, 2008). We have found that life cycles, practices, and products vary between individuals and research teams.…”

In the process of scientific research, many information objects are generated, all of which may remain valuable indefinitely. However, artifacts such as instrument data and associated calibration information may have little value in isolation; their meaning is derived from their relationships to each other. Individual artifacts are best represented as components of a life cycle that is specific to a scientific research domain or project. Current cataloging practices do not describe objects at a sufficient level of granularity nor do they offer the globally persistent identifiers necessary to discover and manage scholarly products with World Wide Web standards. The Open Archives Initiative's Object Reuse and Exchange data model (OAI‐ORE) meets these requirements. We demonstrate a conceptual implementation of OAI‐ORE to represent the scientific life cycles of embedded networked sensor applications in seismology and environmental sciences. By establishing relationships between publications, data, and contextual research information, we illustrate how to obtain a richer and more realistic view of scientific practices. That view can facilitate new forms of scientific research and learning. Our analysis is framed by studies of scientific practices in a large, multidisciplinary, multi‐university science and engineering research center, the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing.
