Basic Motivation *****************
Why earthquake science important to society and embodies fundamental science
Why now is the time to apply modern information infrastructure with
both IT and application ready for each other.
New approaches to Geoscience and training new geoscientists with transdisciplinary
knowledge

Earthquake Science *****************
Explain state of field; rapid progress in deployment of instruments demands
corresponding increase in effort to understand field. 
	
Need for integration of simulation with heterogenous, individually incomplete data.
Range of physical scales
Earthscope and vision of Geoscience in next millenium

Explain aspects of field with examples of relevance to CS resources 
	and earth science scenarios listed below.

In Rundle Pages HPCC Simulations are CS2) and Scenario 2) below
Surface Observables and Analysis is CS3) and CS4); Scenario 2)
Earthquake Response is Scenario 1)
Anticipating Earthquakes and "Pattern analysis and Fundamental Science" is Scenario 3)
	and CS5)
CS1) and basic IT architecture enables the rich collaboration and integration of currently
disparate earth science processes

Basic IT Architecture ***************
Collaborative Environment supporting interactions between scientists on a timescale
from minutes to decades. Designed to scale over time, distance and between collaborators
of different expertise.

Components where innovation is integration not just component technology
CS1) Coarse grain and fine grain distributed component framework with object web technology
CS2) Enabling HPCC real-time simulations using
	Fast Multipole methods in new physical situation (1/r**3 possibly screened)
CS3) Multi-sensor metadata
CS4) Multi-sensor and simulation visualization
CS5) Interactive Datamining 

Methodology
Choose 3 scenarios(modus operandi) with respectively minutes, several months and several year
natural time scales. Each scenario captures an aspect of earthquake science that contributes
to core understanding of field. Support each scenario with the same integrated system
and test and evaluate with special attention to the succesful enabling of new and more
effective models of collaborative scientific research. Feed lessons back into both computer science
and earthquake science. Compare with other work on computing portals on an ongoing
basis.
Scenario 1: Real Time Science after an Earthquake 
Scenario 2: HPCC Simulation emphasizing (bursty, diverse) data assimilation;
            metadata; visualization
Scenario 3: Linkage of fundamental theoretical investigations with observations 
            and simulations; complex systems and data understanding
