Quakeworx overview
The overarching goal of this project is to enable a wide community to access state-of-the-art models of rupture forecasts, further improve existing tools, validate model results, and use them for research and education. We have developed Quakeworx as a science gateway framework to significantly reduce barriers to execute/access simulation tools/data and facilitate rapid availability of emerging tools and results. Figure 1 illustrates different elements of the project. The Quakeworx gateway will accelerate innovation in earthquake science by enabling generation of diverse outputs (seismicity, ground motion, fault network configuration, strain rates, topography) that can be used to validate model results, improve ERFs, and discover new patterns. The following figures illustrates project activities, user interaction paths on the gateway and the gateway architecture.
