Prologue

HYbrid Network Engineering Software (HYNES)

A management-plane solution that monitors aggregate traffic (e.g., by reading SNMP MIBs) and decides where to add circuits (network engineering) and/or which IP traffic to reroute (traffic engineering) is not likely to have much value in ESnet because average loading on ESnet links is light (5-10%). Inspite of these light loads, ESnet deployed a dynamic-circuit network called the Science Data N...

Monitoring of Tectonic Deformation by Mining Satellite Image Time Series

In this paper, an original approach for analyzing Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series is presented and applied to the monitoring of creep along a major active fault. InSAR data are computed from satellite acquisitions and allow ground deformations occurring between different dates to be measured with high precision over large areas. However, measurement precision remain...

The QuakeSim Project: Numerical Simulations for Active Tectonic Processes

In order to develop a solid earth science framework for understanding and studying of active tectonic and earthquake processes, this task develops simulation and analysis tools to study the physics of earthquakes using state-of-the-art modeling, data manipulation, and pattern recognition technologies. We develop clearly defined accessible data formats and code protocols as inputs to the simulat...
