The internal dynamics of the Law Dome ice cap have been investigated by measuring the deformation of three bore holes located on an approximate flow line. Bore holes BHC1 (300 m deep) and BHC2 (344 m) were drilled in the coastal area to within several metres of bedrock and BHQ (418 m) was drilled about half-way towards the dome centre to about 50% of the ice thickness. Detailed measurements of orientation (inclination and azimuth), diameter, and temperature were taken through each bore hole over a 1 year span for BHC1 and BHC2 and a 10 year span for BHQ. The orientation data were reduced to obtain ∂u/∂z, a measure of the shear strain-rate. Changes in the depth of features located by bore-hole diameter measurements were used to obtain vertical velocity profiles. Other measurements discussed are temperatures, oxygen isotopes, crystal structure, surface velocities, and surface and bedrock topography.At the coastal sites, the ∂u/∂z profiles show two maxima in the lower third of the ice sheet. Flow due to the measured deformation accounts for about 55% of the surface velocity, the remainder being due to deformation and sliding in the basal zone. The vertical velocity profiles show mostly firn compression. The deeper ∂u/∂z maximum occurs in ice from the Wisconsin period which appears to deform more rapidly than the Holocene ice immediately above. The upper ∂u/∂z maximum may be related to the stress history of the ice, which can also explain the presence of significant shear strain and crystal-fabric development at only half the ice thickness at the BHQ site.

<p>This study presents a deep learning based algorithm for seismic event detection and simultaneous phase picking in seismic waveforms. U-net structure-based solutions which consists of a contracting path (encoder) to capture feature information and a symmetric expanding path (decoder) that enables precise localization, have proven to be effective in phase picking. The network architecture of these U-net models mainly comprise of 1D CNN, Bi- & Uni-directional LSTM, transformers and self-attentive layers. Althought, these networks have proven to be a good solution, they may not fully harness the information extracted from multi-scales.</p><p> In this study, we propose a simple yet powerful deep learning architecture by combining multi-class with attention mechanism, named MCA-Unet, for phase picking.  Specially, we treat the phase picking as an image segmentation problem, and incorporate the attention mechanism into the U-net structure to efficiently deal with the features extracted at different levels with the goal to improve the performance on the seismic phase picking. Our neural network is based on an encoder-decoder architecture composed of 1D convolutions, pooling layers, deconvolutions and multi-attention layers. This architecture is applied and tested to a field seismic dataset (e.g. Wenchuan Earthquake Aftershocks Classification Dataset) to check its performance.</p>

AbstractThe installation of dense seismometer arrays in Japan approximately 20 years ago has led to the discovery of deep low-frequency tremors, which are oscillations clearly different from ordinary earthquakes. As such tremors may be related to large earthquakes, it is an important issue in seismology to investigate tremors that occurred before establishing dense seismometer arrays. We use deep learning aiming to detect evidence of tremors from past seismic data of more than 50 years ago, when seismic waveforms were printed on paper. First, we construct a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the ResNet architecture to extract tremors from seismic waveform images. Experiments applying the CNN to synthetic images generated according to seismograph paper records show that the trained model can correctly determine the presence of tremors in the seismic waveforms. In addition, the gradient-weighted class activation mapping clearly indicates the tremor location on each image. Thus, the proposed CNN has a strong potential for detecting tremors on numerous paper records, which can enable to deepen the understanding of the relations between tremors and earthquakes.

Abstract. The effect of vertical velocity gradients on the total power output of two aligned model wind turbines as a function of yaw misalignment of the upstream turbine is studied experimentally. It is shown that asymmetries of the power output of the downstream turbine and the combined power of both with respect to the upstream turbine's yaw misalignment angle can be linked to the vertical velocity gradient of the inflow.

<p>This study attempts to use Deep Learning architectures to design an efficient real time magnitude classifier for seismic events. Various combinations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Bi- & Uni-directional Long-Short Term Memory (LSTMs) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRUs) are tried and tested to obtain the best performing model with optimum hyperparameters. In order to extract maximum information from the seismic waveforms, this study uses not only the time series data but also its corresponding Fourier Transform (spectrogram) as input. Furthermore, the Deep Learning architecture is combined with other machine learning algorithms to generate the final magnitude classifications. This study is likely to help seismologists in improving the Earthquake Early Warning System to avoid issuing false warnings, which not only alarms people unnecessarily but can also result in huge financial losses due to stoppage of industrial machinery etc.</p>
