However, for many in the academic geoscience community, seismic processing is not the main research activity, but rather an important tool to image structures for integrated geophysical or geological studies. As such, researchers have limited time and capacity to deal with complex software installations and maintenance. State of the art processing softwares from the industry are also in constant evolution and scattered marine‐geoscientists can find it hard to keep up with new methodologies or softwares. In 2007, CGGVeritas adapted its Geocluster(c) software to the EGEE grid and involved academic labs via the EGEODE (Expanding GEOsciences on DEmand)) VO. Today, User Interfaces (UI) are installed in several universities or research labs and allow researchers to work on a common, centralized platform. Although not officially involved anymore, CGGVeritas maintains the core of this system intact and a grid users community progressively grows. More than a technical solution to intensive computing needs, the “Geocluster on the grid” infrastructure and community is an answer to the episodic processing needs of marine geophysicists and geologists who cannot invest much in this important tool but cannot afford to loose this knowledge either. |
