Applications
Earthquake Location Finding (ELF)
This application is based on HYPO71 and finds the location of earthquakes by scanning
seismic waveform data.
This application is not compute intensive , but it is data intensive. The application can
be parallelized by scanning data files in parallel by multiple using worker nodes.
A workflow can be generated automatically by a program corresponding to the time
intervals in which to look for earthquake

Fault Plane Solution (FPS)
Computes earthquake source parameters (strike, slip, dip)
Inputs:
Crust model: layer thicknesses, seismic velocities, densities, q-factor
Actual seismic waveform data (in SAC format)
Output:
Fault paramtheters
Useful for identifying tectonic structures that are not visible on earths surface
Computationally intensive application
A typical run that uses data from 50 stations takes 8 hours on a PC
Implemented in Fortran/C

Massive Digital Seismological Signal Processing with the
Wavelet Analysis(MDSSP-WA)
Wavelet theory has matured in past years as new mathematical tool for time series analysis.
The continuous or discrete wavelet transforms and relevant plotting of the results in coordinate
system, scales versus time, shows striking similarity of the wavelet images, between different seismic
records, coming from the same source region or noticeable difference for records of earthquakes
occurred in different source region.
We assume that, those similar image patterns are due to same underlying geological setting while the
differences (usually for smaller scale) is due to different source mechanism and finer geological
structures.
In the first approximation of geological structure, similarities of the image patterns in domain of large
scale are noticeable even for the records from different source regions.
With massive processing of earthquake records we can define: (i) Common features of the
propagation path for the given seismic source region or to define empirical transfer function of the
media (ii) Calculation of the artificial seismograms, (iii) Determine the source region based on a
single earthquakes record (iv) Determine the more realistic attenuation curve of the selected feature
(parameter), very much needed in seismic hazard and risk analysis, (v) Mapping (coding) of the given
earthquake prone region in terms of selected parameters (vi)Seismic source parameters

NUMERICAL MODELING OF MANTLE
CONVECTION NMMC3D
The outer part of the Earth consist of moving, rotating and interacting
plates.
The motion of these plates suggest a large convective system in the
Earth's 2900 thick layer, the mantle.
The numerical calculations suggested that the convective cells are
formed by sheet-like elongated downwellings (subduction zones) and
narrow, cylindrical upwellings (mantle plumes, at the hotspots).
The main goal of our research is the quantitative study of the structure
and surface manifestation of mantle plumes and to make systematic
investigation of the parameters influencing the character of mantle
convection in 3D.

SEISMIC RISK ASSESMENT (SRA)
Seismic Risk Assessment is very important for public safety and hazards
mitigation.
It is also important for the correct determination of earthquake insurance
premiums and also for understanding the social and psychological
effects of earthquakes.
Our aim is to develop an application framework to allow us to embed
alternative (deterministic, probabilistic etc.) models.
SRA application can be grouped into four main categories:
(i) Accessing Earthquake Catalogue,
(ii) Earthquake Source Model
(iii) Seismic Hazard Models
(iv) Producing Seismic Hazard Maps

Seismic Data Server Application Service
(SDSAS)
SDSAS is a JRA1 service that serves massive seismic data that are archived
from national seismology centers using a high level interface that is easy to
use/adapt. It serves official lists of earthquakes, stations , sensor information.
It keeps the details of where the data files reside are hidden by mapping high
level user specifications (dates, hours, location etc.) to appropriate pathnames.
The SDSAS implementation will be done by using scripts to collect and
organizing the seismic data by utilizing storage elements, LFC and AMGA .
C++ iterators can be used by applications to access station data, earthquake
data and information about seismic waveform files.

Seismic Data Server (SDS)
SDS serves seismic data present in AMGA tables (station data,
earthquake data and information about seismic waveform
files - not waveform files themselves) through a web interface
that utilizes kml and Google Earth API.
