GEON

GEON Geoinformatics Services for Geophysics

Geophysical data is a core focus of the GEON Project.  These data sets are inherently 3 (and often 4) dimensional and pose significant processing, integration and visualization challenges.  GEON is harnessing cyberinfrastructure resources to develop tools that allow users to access, process, integrate and visualize geophysical data.  Ultimately, GEON is working to build an internet-based environment where scientists can build 3 and 4 dimensional models of earth structure.  This data integration, modeling, and visualization environment is being called the Open Earth Framework.

GEON Geophysical Resources:

• SYNSEIS (SYNthetic SEISmogram generation tool) - A grid application designed to help seismologists and other researchers calculate synthetic 3D regional seismic waveforms using a well-tested, finite difference code, E3D, developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
• Gravity & Magnetics Database - A compilation of gravity and magnetic data for the lower 48 states and all of North America respectively.


• Open Earth Framework - A geological and geophysical data integration, analysis and visualization environment currently under development by GEON.
• Integrated Data Viewer - a fully interactive, true 3D and 4D tool to display and explore any data located on the Earth, inside the Earth, or above the Earth’s surface.

• EarthScope Data Portal - GEON is partnered with the EarthScope project to provide a one stop portal for download of EarthScope Data.
