Quakeworx is an extensible science gateway designed to lower barriers to large-scale earthquake simulation, data analysis, and collaborative research. Its goal is to enable broad community access to advanced computational tools while supporting reproducibility, FAIR data practices, and rapid adoption of emerging methods. Quakeworx integrates state-of-the-art physics-based and data-driven models to generate diverse outputs, seismicity, ground motion, fault slip, strain, and rupture forecasts, that advance understanding of earthquake processes and hazards.
The gateway is built on OneSciencePlace, a modular framework that provides a unified interface for applications, data, content, and user management, coupled with integrated access to HPC, cloud, and storage resources. Through OneSciencePlace, Quakeworx supports curated, ready-to-run applications; interactive and batch workflows and that are provenance-aware; data management; and federated single sign-on. The platform currently hosts a growing suite of community codes, including SeisSol, Tandem, UCERF3-ETAS, pyCSEP, MOOSE-FARMS, HFQsim, QuakeNN, and the SCEC Broadband Platform.
This talk will present the Quakeworx architecture, its app and data curation model, and key scientific and community outcomes, including workshops, hackathons, classroom integration, and peer-reviewed results. We will also discuss lessons learned from Quakeworx and how the OneSciencePlace foundation enables sustainability, reuse, and extension to other scientific domains.
