Seismic Event Identification: Context to Confidence Open
We present a probabilistic framework to automate event-type labeling of seismic event catalogs via contextual data fusion. Our framework fuses information derived from seismic waveform features with geospatial context such as the location …

Temporal Explosion Source Processes of Declared Nuclear Tests in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Open
In this work we highlight a preliminary temporal source analysis of the six declared Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) nuclear tests. We use regional seismic data to estimate relative source time functions (RSTFs) via iterative …

Probabilistic Programming for Transportable Source Characterization and Uncertainty Quantification of the North Korean Nuclear Tests 2006–2017 Open
We introduce a transportable technique to determine the yield and depth of burial (DOB) from seismic source spectra of underground nuclear explosions. We demonstrate this technique on the six declared North Korean nuclear tests. This appro…

High-Precision Characterization of Seismicity from the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcanic Eruption Open
The earthquake swarm accompanying the January 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai (HTHH) volcanic eruption includes a large number of posteruptive moderate-magnitude seismic events and presents a unique opportunity to use remote monitoring meth…

Transportable absolute yields of underground nuclear explosions. Application to the North Korean nuclear tests Open
The method developed and presented here improves our nuclear explosion monitoring capability by providing a new independent and transportable method to determine the explosive yields of seismically recorded events associated with foreign w…

Automatic Waveform Quality Control for Surface Waves Using Machine Learning Open
Surface-wave seismograms are widely used by researchers to study Earth’s interior and earthquakes. To extract information reliably and robustly from a suite of surface waveforms, the signals require quality control screening to reduce arti…

Rayleigh Wave Propagation in the Bighorn Mountains Region, Wyoming Open
Short-period Rayleigh waves, Rg, provide strong constraints on the depth of shallow seismic events and are of interest for monitoring small explosions. Characterizing the seismic sources that generate Rg requires an understanding of how sh…

Local-Distance Seismic Event Relocation and Relative Magnitude Estimation, Applications to Mining Related Seismicity in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming Open
Recent efforts to characterize small (Mw<3) seismic events at local distances have become more important because of the increased observation of human-triggered and induced seismicity and the need to advance nuclear explosion monitoring…

Relocation of Light and Moderate‐Magnitude (<i>M</i>4–6) Seismicity Along the Central Mid‐Atlantic Open
We estimate precise relative epicentroid locations of earthquakes along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between 12 ° N and 19 ° N using intermediate‐period Rayleigh and Love wave cross‐correlation measurements. We relocate 152 earthquakes wit…

Rupture processes of the 2013–2014 Minab earthquake sequence, Iran Open
We constrain epicentroid locations, magnitudes and depths of moderate-magnitude earthquakes in the 2013-2014 Minab sequence using surface-wave cross-correlations, surfacewave spectra and teleseismic body-wave modelling. We estimate precise…

Aftershocks of the 2012<i>M</i><sub>w</sub> 7.6 Nicoya, Costa Rica, Earthquake and Mechanics of the Plate Interface Open
Subduction of the Cocos plate beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, generates large underthrusting earthquakes with a recurrence interval of about 50 yrs. The most recent of these events occurred on 5 September 2012 (Mw 7.6). A vigorou…
