Book Synopsis Big Data for Small Earthquakes by : Karianne Jodine Bergen
Download or read book Big Data for Small Earthquakes written by Karianne Jodine Bergen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake detection, the problem of extracting weak earthquake signals from continuous waveform data recorded by networks of seismic sensors, is a critical and challenging task in seismology. To overcome the limitations of traditional energy-based detectors, waveform cross-correlation is now widely used to detect weak earthquake signals with waveforms similar to those of known events. Earthquake catalogs are often limited or incomplete, so we require a more general detector capable of finding events with unknown sources. Because earthquakes occur infrequently, detection algorithms must be capable of processing months to years of continuous data dominated by noise. To address these challenges, we have introduced Fingerprint and Similarity Thresholding (FAST), a new detection method that uses locality-sensitive hashing to perform a computationally efficient similarity search to identify all similar waveforms in the continuous data. FAST is the first detector based on waveform similarity that is capable of identifying events with unknown sources in long-duration data sets. In this work, I introduce three new extensions to the FAST earthquake detection method that help FAST achieve both high sensitivity and a low false detection rate when applied to years of continuous data. First, I present an improved feature extraction process that produces discriminative features ("waveform fingerprints") for earthquake waveforms. The proposed fingerprinting scheme is designed to detect low signal-to-noise earthquake waveforms using similarity search in imbalanced data sets dominated by noise. Next, I introduce a new analysis pipeline that extends a single-station FAST detector over a seismic network. The method leverages the pairwise event detection model of FAST to formulate network detection as a constraint on inter-event times of single-station detections. This approach is robust to missing data, effective in sparse networks with large station spacing, and scalable to large data sets while maintaining a low false detection rate. Finally, I present a partially informed variant of FAST that prioritizes data more likely to contain earthquake signals in similarity search. This approach makes more efficient use of available computational resources, including reducing runtime and memory usage, with a negligible effect on detection performance. I demonstrate the performance of these methods on real waveform data from northern California and Iquique, Chile.

The author explains multiple methods of attaining data, describes the pros and cons of each method, and encourages readers to choose the best method applicable to their case. The author offers a practical approach to data analysis using the most appropriate methods and software. 1. Covers all major natural hazards including hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and avalanches. 2. Studies each natural hazard holistically, ranging from spatial extent, severity, impact assessment, causes, and prediction of occurrence. 3. Explains different remotely sensed data and the most appropriate method used. 4. Compares different ways of sensing and clarifies the pros and cons of any selected data or their analysis. 5. Provides ample examples of each aspect of a natural hazard studied augmented with graphic illustrations and quality assurance information. All professionals working in the field of natural hazards, senior undergraduate, and graduate students, will find in-depth approaches and sufficient information to become knowledgeable in the methods of yielding and analyzing data provided with remote sensing technology, ultimately providing a deeper understanding of natural hazards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth Sciences industry faces a new challenge - the need for accurate, efficient, and reliable methods to monitor and predict geological phenomena and environmental changes. As climate change, earthquakes, and other natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the necessity for advanced tools and techniques is paramount. Traditional methods often fall short in providing the precision and speed required to address these critical issues. Geologists and earth scientists who are grappling with the urgent problem of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize their field, will find the solution within the pages of Novel AI Applications for Advancing Earth Sciences. This book offers the research community concepts expanding upon the fusion of AI technology with earth sciences. By leveraging advanced AI tools, such as convolutional neural networks, support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and the potential of remote sensing satellites, this book transforms the identification of geological features, geological mapping, soil classification, and gas detection. Scientists can now predict earthquakes and assess the probability of climate change with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, the book explains how the optimization of algorithms for specific tasks substantially reduces the time complexity of earth observations, leading to an unprecedented leap in accuracy and efficiency.
