SUNY at Buffalo, in collaboration with the University of South Florida and Michigan Technological University, will develop VHub: Collaborative Research: Cyberinfrastructure for Volcano Eruption and Hazards Modeling and Simulation, a virtual organization that will enable the integration of multidisciplinary computational thinking into volcanology research and applications. The VHub cyberinfrastructure will provide a mechanism for globally collaborative research and development of computational models of volcanic processes and their integration with complex geospatial, observational, and experimental data. VHub will promote seamless accessibility of appropriate models and data to organizations around the world charged with assessing and reducing risk, reaching across resource levels and cultural boundaries. The cyberinfrastructure challenges in this effort arise from solving difficult research problems involving multi-scale physics and complex datasets, and developing the structures needed to ensure accessibility to civil protection workers for real-world decision making. Vhub will enable the advancement of understanding of volcanic processes by accelerating the broad adaptation of computation within volcanology and driving our modeling capabilities toward fewer simplifications, and enabling important collaborations with other disciplines that focus on similar flow phenomena. VHub will provide a venue for developing benchmarking of complex models, and for model comparison and multi-model analysis. VHub will be structured to promote the integration of cutting-edge science with global hazard mitigation, including in developing countries where risk is large but economic and/or cultural barriers have prevented organizations from using cutting-edge capabilities. Educational materials designed and implemented through VHub will serve to recruit new students into the geosciences and computational sciences who will learn to conduct quantitative volcanological research within a framework that views fundamental research and societal applications as an integrated whole.

纽约州立大学布法罗分校将与南佛罗里达大学和密歇根理工大学合作开发 VHub：协作研究：火山喷发和灾害建模与模拟的网络基础设施，这是一个虚拟组织，能够将多学科计算思维整合到火山学研究和预测中。应用程序。 VHub 网络基础设施将为全球协作研究和开发火山过程计算模型及其与复杂地理空间、观测和实验数据的集成提供机制。 VHub 将促进世界各地负责评估和降低风险的组织无缝访问适当的模型和数据，跨越资源水平和文化界限。这项工作中的网络基础设施挑战来自于解决涉及多尺度物理和复杂数据集的困难研究问题，以及开发确保民防工作者能够进行现实世界决策所需的结构。 Vhub 将通过加速火山学中计算的广泛适应、推动我们的建模能力朝着更少的简化方向发展，并实现与专注于类似流动现象的其他学科的重要合作，从而促进对火山过程的理解。 VHub 将为开发复杂模型的基准测试、模型比较和多模型分析提供场所。 VHub 的结构将促进尖端科学与全球减灾的融合，包括在风险较大但经济和/或文化障碍阻碍组织利用尖端能力的发展中国家。通过 VHub 设计和实施的教材将用于招收地球科学和计算科学专业的新生，他们将学习在将基础研究和社会应用视为一个整体的框架内进行定量火山学研究。
