Special issue on high-performance computing (HPC) in geosciences

Introduction:

High-performance computing (HPC) has rapidly risen to the consciousness of academics, with a growing focus on areas like big data, artificial intelligence and quantum computing and information. There is a great need to transmit these novel ideas from computer sciences to geosciences, in particular, to geophysicists who are active in field studies, remote sensing, laboratory experiments and numerical modelling.

For this special issue, we welcome regular research articles, review papers and short communications (at most 4 to 5 printed pages) with hyperlinks to videos, data and high-resolution images.

Topics covered:

All topics should be applicable to geosciences. These can include, but are not limited to:

• Modelling, visualisations, data analysis, cloud computing, edge computing and their associated algorithms
• Wave propagations of all types, includingacoustic, seismic, poro-elastic, tsunami waves, slow earthquakes along faults, volcanic tremors and slow deformation.

Important deadlines:

• Submissions close: 31 March 2023
• First review round: 30 May 2023
• Issue date: October 2023

Submission instructions:

Please read the Guide for Authors before submitting. All articles should be submitted online; please select Special issue on high-performance computing (HPC) in geosciences on submission.

Questions can be emailed to era-2021@outlook.com or era@seis.ac.cn
