Such a linkage of Geoinformatics with Geocomplexity would demonstrate the value of the SERVOGrid concept, and advance Grid technology by building the first real-time large-scale data assimilation grid. It demonstrates the data assimilation component of the envisioned problem solving environment. It exploits the current CT effort in Active Tectonics by building on interoperability framework and parallel codes being developed in this project. Note that this differs from current datagrid activities such as those in particle physics and the astronomical virtual observatory where the simulations are not large scale tightly coupled parallel codes. In the recent ESTO computational technology workshop, the solid earth community identified some key-unifying infrastructure that would benefit the field. Here we develop the next steps for both the Solid Earth Research Virtual Observatory (SERVO) concept and the identified need for a Solid Earth problem-solving environment.
