New paper! We compare PhaseNet (PN) #deep-learning (DL) with manual (BSI) event picking for routine seismic monitoring by analyzing high-precision earthquake locations and tomographic inversion for the 2016 Central Italy #earthquake sequence. doi.org/10.1093/gji/... @carlo-giunchi.bsky.social
Map of the central Apennines area indicated by the blue rectangle in the inset. Seismic stations used in the analysis are shown as triangles coloured according to network codes. Purple dots are the 84 991 earthquakes detected and located by BSI in the time period 2016 August 15–2017 August 31. Yellow stars are the three main shocks of the central Apennines seismic sequence.Histograms of P (a, c) and S (b, d) pick difference for PhaseNet Original (PN-OR) and PhaseNet INSTANCE (PN-IN) with respect to INGV manual phase picks (BSI). Panels (e) and (f) show the histograms of P and S pick time differences for PN-OR with respect to PN-IN. Medians and Means are represented as red dashed and blue solid lines, respectively; ±1 and ±2 standard deviations are in dashed green and purple lines, respectively.

Our latest study in Nature, together with colleagues from @geomarkiel.bsky.social and universities from Greece, shows what happened beneath Santorini earlier this year when tens of thousands earthquakes shook the islands and the seafloor. It was magma. We also have 1/2 www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

This is one of the most interesting sequences I've worked on so far! It's great to see how machine learning can provide us with these detailed images of seismicity in near real time. I'm glad to have been able to contribute to this project.

Have you ever wondered how seismic swarms around slow slip events (SSEs) might work? In our recent work, we study the complex seismic migrations around the onset of a shallow SSEs in the Copiapó ridge in 2023. (1/2) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Overview figure of the 2023 SSE with three subplots. Left: The SSE slip model with seismicity overlain. Top right: zoom in on the onset sequence in map view. Bottom right: Cross-section of the onset sequence. In all panels, events are colored by time, revealing clear migtations.

Hi Seismo-Bluesky! I decided to test a pipeline with SeisBench, PyOcto, NonLinLoc, and HypoDD on the Santorini sequence. The level of activity (>4,500 events) is truly stunning! There are repeated bursts migrating backwards and forwards, spreading outwards from a narrow, almost linear channel.
