  1. Geohazard Super SitesConcept & ESA Trial Geohazard objectives / requirements GEO Geohazard Members What is a Super Site? “Super Site” Concept ESA Virtual Archive trial supporting Super Sites Wolfgang Lengert ERS & ADM Aeolus Missions Manager

  2. Formal Requirement: task DI-09-01 (Supersites) towards GEO for the new 2009-11 GEO workplan: … is to respond to the scientific and operational geospatial information needs for the prediction and monitoring of geological hazards, namely earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and land instability. Informal Requirement: Geohazard community: stated in workshops, Cat1 reports, … Objective of Geohazard initiative

  3. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO European Space Agency, ESA Japanese Space Agency, JAXA National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA French Space Agency, CNES United States Geological Survey, USGS British Geological Survey, BGS French Geological Survey, BRGM Federation of Digital Seismological Networks, FDSN World Organization of Volcanoes Observatories, WOVO Global Geodetic Observing System, GGOS International Consortium on Landslides, ICL International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior , IASPE International Union of Geological Sciences, IUG Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), CEOS Association of the Geological Surveys of the European Union, EUROGEOSURVEYS GEO Geohazards members are:http://www.igosgeohazards.org/

  4. stimulating access to data regionally to “Geohazards Natural Laboratory”: …. facilitating access to data over a certain number of regional areas. In order to be eligible as a “Supersite” a regional area should meet at least one of the following criteria: populations and elements are exposed to geological threats an event is expected to occur in the near future, or a slow process is already ongoing it should be an appropriate place to stimulate basic geohazard research (earthquakes hazards, landslides, volcanoes, hydro-geological processes) and relative sea level rise What is a “Super Site”?

  5. Volcano Topography Seismic monitoring Deformation Gases GPS Seismological stations InSAR images Geological structure Boreholes Geo-referenced data Ground Instability Topography Deformation Hydrogeology Earthquake Seismic monitoring Topography Soil behavior Hydrogeology + Tsunami Topography Bathymetry Seismic monitoring Buoys… Relevant “Super Site” data set

  6. “Geo hazard Super Site” concept v user user user IGOS Geo-hazard executive bureau (long term existence tbc.) • Project selection (Cat1) • Registration • Compile results • Make recommendations for new data set • EOLI- SA catalogues & download • No tasking • ESA SAR • Specific archive (SARL0 or/and SLC) • Fixed data set • Data regularly added after acquisition • Standing order to feed specific archive • No NRT • Hosted by ESA • Fixed sites e.g. Izmit, Etna • Data cost of reproduction – paid once • Searchable catalogue other SAR Specific archive In-situ data (e.g. GPS) other SAR Specific archive other SAR Specific archive

  7. Super Sites (ESA SAR scenes available)  Hawaii (250)  Etna    (250)  Vesuvius (400)  Los Angeles (100)  North Anatolian fault (20 Istanbul plus east of Istanbul)  Tokyo Natural Geohazard Laboratory (potential future Super Sites) Iceland (earthquakes and volcanoes) Sakurajima, Miyake-Jima East-African rift  earthquakes and volcanoes Yellowstone Piton de la Fournaise (Reunion) San Francisco Currently available ESA “Super Sites” SAR data •  ESA “Super Site” Archive has mainly been established • with ESA SAR data being provided by users •  UNAVCO has provided technical support

  8.  1 mission across 3 satellites Geohazard “Super Site” Trial Example of Cloud Computing Trial starts now (once Cat1 has been issued) and lasts until April 2009 • Combination of: • EOLI • Quicklooks at ESA catalogue • Virtual Archive; • SAR products stored • Close to the user (Europe, North America, Asia)

  9. 12.20 PM started download of several products in parallel 12.23 / 24 PM download finished after 4 minutes (ESRIN office) Virtual Product ArchiveDownload performance

  10. End of this year an ESA review on this service will take place Evaluation of service with following criteria: user satisfaction cost GS compatibility ..... Review => to make service operational

  11. “Super Site” ESA SAR data are via GeoHazard Cat1 project easily and fast downloadable using EOLI. The “Super User” Archive has very well been initialized based on users have contribution. ESA has provided the infrastructure and is the data distributor. Trial starts now and ends April 2009  feedback and recommendations are important to evaluate and tune the “Super Site” service.
