Quakeworx

Quakeworx is a science gateway that provides an accessible, web-based cyberinfrastructure for the earthquake science community to seamlessly run, reuse, and contribute advanced computational tools for simulation and data analysis. Designed to reduce technical barriers and accelerate scientific discovery, Quakeworx enables rapid adoption of emerging methods while supporting reproducibility and FAIR data practices.

The platform delivers a growing suite of state-of-the-art earthquake modeling applications, including SeisSol, Tandem, MooseFarm, UCERF3-ETAS, pyCSEP, and HFQsim. These applications can be executed in batch or interactive mode on dedicated compute nodes, national HPC resources, and cloud computing infrastructure.

Quakeworx is a customized instance of the OneSciencePlace platform. 

Key Capabilities

• Curated Apps and Pipelines: Preconfigured simulation and modeling tools ready to run with reference configurations.
• Curated Data: Shared datasets for benchmark problems and scenario simulations, with tracked provenance.
• Job Management: Monitoring and tracking of resource usage and job history.
• Publishing Tools: Support for publishing data, results, workflows, and reports with persistent identifiers in alignment with FAIR principles.
• Community Contributions: Users can upload new applications (via containers or executables), datasets, or publications directly through the browser.
• Access Control: Fine-grained sharing options allow users to keep resources private or share them broadly with the community.
• User Management: Integrated single sign-on (SSO) for institutional users across academia and government.
