EPOS Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards – open-access integrated infrastructures for research and innovation in the area of anthropogenic seismicity associated with the exploitation of geo-resources

EPOS Thematic Core Service ANTHROPOGENIC HAZARDS (TCS AH) integrates, within the framework of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) (www.epos-eu.org), research infrastructures freely open for scientists, engineers, and all others interested in hazards posed by the seismicity induced by geo-resource exploration and exploitation. The integrated infrastructures consist of three components: •Data gathered in "episodes." An episode is a set of time-correlated geophysical and technological data and other relevant geo-data that comprehensively report anthropogenic seismicity cases and the industrial and geological conditions of these processes. •Applications, i.e., problem-oriented, bespoke, and standard software tools to process and analyze the data. They help relate seismicity and technological factors for hazard assessment and other scientific targets. •The episodes and applications are accessible on the EPISODES e-platform (https://tcs.ah-epos.eu), an IT environment for data modeling and analysis. The platform provides the user's workspace, adequate hardware resources, including HPC systems and other facilities that grant quick and efficient execution of commissioned tasks. Here we present and describe the structure and details of this open-access facility. On an example of the pilot "Time-Dependent Anthropogenic Seismic Hazard Assessment," we demonstrate the potential of the integrated infrastructures for developing innovative practice solutions, ready-for-implementation in geo-resource exploitation.
