Objectives: - Integrating EU-US solid earth RI elements in EPOS and EarthScope- Coordinating EU-US solid earth RI planning and implementation- Coordinating EPOS and EarthScope data and e-infrastructure visions- Promote multidisciplinary interoperability (specifically seismology and GPS)- Discussion future planning deep-drilling initiatives (ICDP)

Tasks:5.1 Interoperability cyberinfrastructures in solid earth, specifically seismology5.2 Interoperability standard data formats and services in solid earth sciences5.3 Best practise integration Euro-GPS, GNSS5.4 Long-term vision global Deep Scientific Drilling

Deliverables:

- Current status report (M6) √ - Cyberinfrastructure report (M24)- EU-US workshop report (M12) pending - EU-US workshop report (M30)- Data interoperability (M18) - Deep scientific drilling report (M30)

Primary tasks completedSEISMOLOGY (EIDA and IRIS)

• coordinated FDSN standards in web services• XML formats for seismic events, station metadata, and time series• simple text format definitions• coordination of request parameters

•Web services in operation• 5 European and 3 US data centers have web services in operation

•Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for seismic networks• Methodology agreed across entire FDSN (broader than just COOPEUS

partners)

Primary tasks completed• Coordination: Geodesy (EPOS institutions and UNAVCO)• coordinated seamless archive (GSAC) standards in web services• installation of protype GSAC service at individual archives across Europe

including EPOS and EUREF• COOPEUS/EPOS workshop on GSAC in Portugal and identification of need

for EPOS “Federated” GSAC• indentification and adoption of GEO Supersites for user scenarios

• GSAC services in operation• 6 European and 3 US data centers (Federated) have GSAC services in

operation•Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for seismic networks• UNAVCO has implemented a DOI process for geodetic data (broader than

just COOPEUS). This is under consideration with other models for EPOS.

Plans Moving Forward• Seismology• Promote standardized web services in Asia Pacific region• Promote use of FDSN DOIs across the globe• Extend federated seismological data centers using a turnkey system• standard quality assessment techniques

• Geodesy• Continued coordination between EPOS GNSS community specifically

between UNAVCO, EUREF and EPOS WG4• Remote support for additional GSAC instatllations in Europe• EPOS WG4 agreement on common developments of the GSAC• Planned Spring 2015 workshop (venue to be decided) to facilitate these

activities and coordinated new developments including the European federated GSAC
