2. Seismology data and modelling: some perspectives on data and computations Data: High quality (Broadband data) low estimate ~ 100 TB/year Mobile experiments low estimate~ 100 TB/year Acceleration (engineering) data~ 500 TB/year Other observations (SP, experimental, etc)~ 200 TB/year Computations: Seismological Waveform modelling on computer clusters: Beowulf (CalTech) for example Supercomputers: EarthSimulator (JAMSTEC, Japan) for example Earth Simulator 2 JAMSTECCITerra, CALTECH

3. Current monitoring infrastructure: seismological networks ~4’000 stations >180 networks Regional Coordination: Parameter data EMSC Waveform data ORFEUS Projects: NERIES (EU) GEOFON (GR) GEOSCOPE (FR) MEDNET (I)

4. Virtual European Broadband Seismic Network (VEBSN) (near)Real-time Data exchange Contributors: >53 networks Data archival: at ODC Coordination + EC funding: MEREDIAN (EU) NERIES (EU) NERA proposal (EU) ORFEUS (NGO) Progress: ~ 50 stations/yr Status January 2010 ~ 450 BB stations

E-science can make the difference. Small targeted European-Mediterranean research infrastructure projects will give a high pay-off and promote long-term cooperation.
