HPC is increasingly being used in solid Earth Geophysics in Europe and AuScope has organised this Special Seminar with Arnau Folch, leader of the EU ChEESE Program
ChEESE is the EU Centre of Excellence for Exascale in Solid Earth and develops translational research capabilities in High Performance Computing to the Exascale in geophysics, enabling multiscale, multiphysics and multi-hazard analysis.
In this seminar, Arnau will present the results of ChEESE-1P Exascale Pilot Demonstrators, including:
· Rapid probabilistic forecasts of tsunami inundations;
· Earthquake source prediction; and
· The atmospheric volcanic ash dispersal models validated in real time against high-resolution geostationary satellite data.
And, introduce ChEESE-2P and highlight its role in an ecosystem of projects that are shaping Europe’s Digital Future, including:
· A Digital Twin for GEOphysical Extremes (DT-GEO);
· Destination Earth (DestinE); and
· European Plate Observing System (EPOS)
Date: February 6th from 12 pm to 1:30 pm AEST.

Background
The first phase (ChEESE-1P) ran from 2018-2022 and addressed scientific and technical computational challenges in moving existing systems to Exascale in seismology, tsunami science, volcanology, and magnetohydrodynamics. ChEESE-1P initiated the optimisation of 10 Community flagship European codes for the European pre-Exascale and Exascale supercomputers and developed 12 Pilot Demonstrators (PD) that enabled services oriented to critical aspects of geohazards, including hazard assessment, urgent computing, and early warning forecasting.
Following the success of ChEESE-1P, a second 4-year phase (ChEESE-2P) with funding of € 7.8 million was launched in January 2023. Arnau will lead a team of Earth and Computer Scientists across multiple programs that will further develop the ChEESE-1P codes and new codes in geodynamics and glaciology.
We are delighted to be hosting Arnau and welcome you to join us in what will surely be a great seminar.
