This paper utilises teleseismic Z-component data to investigate rupture propagation, extent, and velocity for two very destructive earthquakes in the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ): the ???????? = 7.8 earthquake near Kahramanmaras and the largest (???????? = 7.5 s) aftershock at Elbistan (both on 6 February 2023). The extent of the rupture is modelled with beamforming and multichannel sig…
Following the abrupt geochemical and geophysical variations that occurred on the island of Vulcano in September 2021, the search for previous multidisciplinary data on decades-long time spans became necessary to contextualize the newly recorded anomalous variations, which represented a serious threat for the local population. Our analyses of ‘vintage’ reports, old documents and analogue sei…
Investigating the sonosphere can serve as a valuable proxy for understanding various ecosystem processes. Consequently, an ecoacoustic perspective broadens our capacity to understand how airborne sounds interact along an ecotone at the soil surface with the subterranean sounds generated within a pedon. We explored techniques that could detect, quantify, and analyze the sonic dimensions of a son…
Magnitude estimation is a critical task in seismology, and conventional methods usually require dense seismic station arrays to provide data with sufficient spatiotemporal distribution. In this context, we propose the Earthquake Graph Network (EQGraphNet) to enhance the performance of single-station magnitude estimation. The backbone of the proposed model consists of eleven convolutional neural…
Machine learning methods are increasingly used for spatially predicting a categorical target variable when spatially exhaustive predictor variables are available within the study region. Even though these methods exhibit competitive spatial prediction performance, they do not exactly honor the categorical target variable's observed values at sampling locations by construction. On the other side…
A common limitation in applying any deep learning and machine learning techniques is the limited labelled dataset which can be addressed through Data augmentation (DA). SeisAug is a DA python toolkit to address this challenge in seismological studies. DA. DA helps to balance the imbalanced classes of a dataset by creating more examples of under-represented classes. It significantly mitigates ov…
The complex interplay of various complicated meteorological and oceanic processes has made it more difficult to accurately predict Indian monsoon rainfall. A future-oriented and one of the most potential methods for predictive analytics is deep learning. The proposed work exploits empirical Mode Decomposition-Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (EMD-DFA) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep neural…
CNES is currently carrying out a Phase A study to assess the feasibility of a future hyperspectral imaging sensor (10 m spatial resolution) combined with a panchromatic camera (2.5 m spatial resolution). This mission focuses on both high spatial and spectral resolution requirements, as inherited from previous French studies such as HYPEX, HYPXIM, and BIODIVERSITY. To meet user requirements, cos…
First order geometric network design is an important quality assurance process for terrestrial laser scanning of complex built environments for the construction of digital as-built models. A key design task is the determination of a set of instrument locations or viewpoints that provide complete site coverage while meeting quality criteria. Although simplified point precision measures are often…
Geometric features such as cylinders and planes are important objects of interest in terrestrial laser scanner surveys of complex scenes. The quality of the objects modelled from the laser scanner data is a function of many variables and geometric network design plays a key role in maximizing precision. The expected precision can be predicted at the planning stage from simulations of the enviro…
