Geo Hazard : Japan earthquake
- Tohoku-oki: unprecedented >50 m slip in places (Simons et al., Science 2011, NASA-funded study). - Will another magnitude 9 occur further south?
- It is unknown whether this fault segment has been accumulating slip. - Need all InSAR, GPS, Seismic, Petrology, Geochemistry , … ! (-2004 magnitude 9.2 Sumatra earthquake was followed by magnitude 8.7 half-a-year later)
The Science Cloud with its “unlimited” resources on data, processing capacity and tools will allow cross-domain science and ease data sharing. The easy usage of this infrastructure will pull “intelligence” to apprehend the challenges.

An entire intricate ecosystem of wildlife and plant life will be profoundly affected by a prolonged warming trend in the Arctic
► Risk of “trophic cascade”
Need biological, oceanographic, atmospheric data
as well as computer modelling to apprehend
GLOBAL change
Sea ice extent fell to 3.41 million
square kilometers, now the lowest

SuperSites Exploitation Platform (SSEP) - Approach
1. SSEP is vested as an Helix Nebula “flagship”; along sites other flagship
at CERN and EMBL.
2. CNES, DLR and CNR agreed to participate to Helix Nebula. The
CNR/IREA (Italian Research Council) as a none-space agency
contributes with their Radar processor adapted for the cloud.
3. Helix Nebula Prove of Concept – Suppliers participants:
1. ATOS
2. CloudSigma
3. Interoute
4. T-Systems

1. Science: better scientific understanding of geohazards with the
aim of providing sound information about the risks and the
potential mitigation measures
2. Data sharing: information extracted from different sources
(satellite & in-situ) will open a wide range of new approaches:
Cross-domain research
3. Building Communities : In return to SSEP access, scientists
will be asked either:
• to provide results into the information repository on the Science
Cloud,
• to provide their data processing open source code,
• to provide application tools (“Apps”)
SSEP Expected Results

What’s next ?
• Process for new Suppliers / new Users to join is starting:
– New comers can either submit flagships that propose some innovation in terms of functionality, performance, scope, business opportunities or impact of the European Cloud Computing infrastructure, or use the HN platform as is.
– The flagship use cases must be sponsored by user organisations and Service Providers. Will be selected so as to be complementary and maximise coverage of the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan
