The inversion of DC resistivity data is a widely employed method for near-surface characterization. Recently, deep learning-based inversion techniques have garnered significant attention due to their capability to elucidate intricate non-linear relationships between geophysical data and model parameters. Nevertheless, these methods face challenges such as limited training data availability and the generation of geologically inconsistent solutions. These concerns can be mitigated through the integration of a physics-informed approach. Moreover, the quantification of prediction uncertainty is crucial yet often overlooked in deep learning-based inversion methodologies. In this study, we utilized Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) based Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to invert both synthetic and field Schlumberger sounding data while also estimating prediction uncertainty via Monte Carlo dropout. For both synthetic and field case studies, the median profile estimated by PINNs is comparable to the results from existing literature, while also providing uncertainty estimates. Therefore, PINNs demonstrate significant potential for broader applications in near-surface characterization.

Earthquake occurrence is notoriously difficult to predict. While some aspects of their spatiotemporal statistics can be relatively well captured by point-process models, very little is known regarding the magnitude of future events, and it is deeply debated whether it is possible to predict the magnitude of an earthquake before it starts. This is due both to the lack of information about fault conditions and to the inherent complexity of rupture dynamics. Consequently, even state of the art forecasting models typically assume no knowledge about the magnitude of future events besides the time-independent Gutenberg Richter (GR) distribution, which describes the marginal distribution over large regions and long times. This approach implicitly assumes that earthquake magnitudes are independent of previous seismicity and are identically distributed. In this work we challenge this view by showing that information about the magnitude of an upcoming earthquake can be directly extracted from the seismic history. We present MAGNET - MAGnitude Neural EsTimation model, an open-source, geophysically-inspired neural-network model for probabilistic forecasting of future magnitudes from cataloged properties: hypocenter locations, occurrence times and magnitudes of past earthquakes. Our history-dependent model outperforms stationary and quasi-stationary state of the art GR-based benchmarks, in real catalogs in Southern California, Japan and New-Zealand. This demonstrates that earthquake catalogs contain information about the magnitude of future earthquakes, prior to their occurrence. We conclude by proposing methods to apply the model in characterization of the preparatory phase of earthquakes, and in operational hazard alert and earthquake forecasting systems.
地震的发生是出了名的难以预测。虽然点过程模型可以较好地捕捉到地震时空统计的某些方面,但对未来事件的震级却知之甚少,而且在地震发生之前预测其震级是否可能还存在很大争议。这既是由于缺乏有关断层条件的信息,也是由于破裂动力学本身的复杂性。因此,即使是最先进的预测模型,除了与时间无关的古腾堡-里克特(GR)分布(该分布描述了地震在大区域和长时间内的边际分布)之外,通常也不会对未来事件的震级有所了解。这种方法隐含地假定地震震级与之前的地震活动无关,并且是同分布的。在这项研究中,我们挑战了这一观点,证明可以直接从地震历史中提取即将发生地震的震级信息。我们提出了 MAGNET - MAGnitudeNeural EsTimation 模型,这是一个开源的、受地球物理启发的神经网络模型,用于从编目属性(即过去地震的震中位置、发生时间和震级)对未来震级进行概率预测。在南加州、日本和新西兰的实际地震目录中,我们的历史依赖模型优于基于 GR 的静态和准静态基准。这表明地震目录包含了未来地震发生前的震级信息。最后,我们提出了将该模型应用于地震准备阶段的特征描述以及实用危险警报和地震预报系统的方法。

We introduce a new seismic wave representation model called PRIME-DP, which stands for Pre-trained Integrated Model for Earthquake Data Processing. Unlike most of the models, which are designed to specifically a singular problem, PRIME-DP is used for multi-task single station seismic waveform processing. PRIME-DP can be used to Pg/Sg/Pn/Sn phase picking, P polarization classification. And can be fine-tunned to wide range of tasks, such as event classification, without architecture modifications. PRIME-DP can achieve over 85% recall on Pg and Sg phases, when picking continuous waveform and achieves over 80% accuracy in P polarization classification. By fine-tunning classification decoder with NeiMeng dataset, PRIME-DP can achieve 95.1% accuracy on event.

Seismic images obtained by stacking or migration are usually characterized as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), low dominant frequency and sparse sampling both in depth (or time) and offset dimensions. For improving the resolution of seismic images, we proposed a deep learning-based method to achieve super-resolution (SR) in only one step, which means performing the denoising, interpolation and frequency extrapolation at the same time. We design a seismic image super-resolution Transformer (SIST) to extract and fuse local and global features, which focuses more on the energy and extension shapes of effective events (horizons, folds and faults, etc.) from noisy seismic images. We extract the edge images of input images by Canny algorithm as masks to generate the input data with double channels, which improves the amplitude preservation and reduces the interference of noises. The residual groups containing Swin-Transformer blocks and residual connections consist of the backbone of SIST, which extract the global features in a window with preset size and decrease computational cost meanwhile. The pixel shuffle layers are used to up-sample the output feature maps from the backbone to improve the edges, meanwhile up-sampling the input data through a skip connection to enhance the amplitude preservation of the final images especially for clarifying weak events. 3-dimensional synthetic seismic volumes with complex geological structures are created, and the amplitudes of half of the volumes are mixtures of strong and weak, then select 2-dimensional slices randomly to generate training datasets which fits field data well to perform supervised learning. Both numerical tests on synthetic and field data in different exploration regions demonstrate the feasibility of our method.

In the field of exploration geophysics, seismic vibrator is one of the widely used seismic sources to acquire seismic data, which is usually named vibroseis. "Ringing effect" is a common problem in vibroseis data processing due to the limited frequency bandwidth of the vibrator, which degrades the performance of first-break picking. In this paper, we proposed a novel deringing model for vibroseis data using deep convolutional neural network (CNN). In this model we use end-to-end training strategy to obtain the deringed data directly, and skip connections to improve model training process and preserve the details of vibroseis data. For real vibroseis deringing task we synthesize training data and corresponding labels from real vibroseis data and utilize them to train the deep CNN model. Experiments are conducted both on synthetic data and real vibroseis data. The experiment results show that deep CNN model can attenuate the ringing effect effectively and expand the bandwidth of vibroseis data. The STA/LTA ratio method for first-break picking also shows improvement on deringed vibroseis data using deep CNN model.

Seismic mapping of the top of the inner core indicates two distinct areas of high P-wave velocity, the stronger one located beneath Asia, and the other located beneath the Atlantic. This two-fold pattern supports the idea that a lower-mantle heterogeneity can be transmitted to the inner core through outer core convection. In this study, a two-component convective dynamo model, where thermal convection is near critical and compositional convection is strongly supercritical, produces a substantial inner core heterogeneity in the rapidly rotating strongly driven regime of Earth's core. While the temperature profile that models secular cooling ensures that the mantle heterogeneity propagates as far as the inner core boundary (ICB), the distribution of heat flux at the ICB is determined by the strength of compositional buoyancy. A large heat flux variation $q^*$ of $O(10)$ at the core-mantle boundary (CMB), where $q^*$ is the ratio of the maximum heat flux difference to the mean heat flux at the CMB, produces a core flow regime of long-lived convection in the east and time-varying convection in the west. Here, the P-wave velocity estimated from the ICB heat flux in the dynamo is higher in the east than in the west, with the hemispherical difference of the same order as the observed lower bound, 0.5%. Additional observational constraints are satisfied in this regime -- the variability of high-latitude magnetic flux in the east is lower than that in the west; and the stratified F-layer at the base of the outer core, which is fed by the mass flux from regional melting of the inner core and magnetically damped, attains a steady-state height of $sim$ 200 km.
内核顶部的地震绘图显示出两个不同的高P波速度区域,一个位于亚洲下方,另一个位于大西洋下方。这种双重模式支持了下地幔异质性可以通过外核对流传递到内核的观点。在这项研究中,双成分对流动力模型(热对流接近临界,成分对流为强超临界)在快速旋转的地核强驱动机制中产生了大量的内核异质性。虽然模拟世俗冷却的温度曲线确保地幔异质性最远传播到内核边界(ICB),但内核边界的热通量分布是由成分浮力的强度决定的。地核-地幔边界(CMB)的热通量差$q^*$为$O(10)$,其中$q^*$为地核-地幔边界的最大热通量差与平均热通量之比。在这里,根据动力学中的 ICB 热通量估算出的 P 波速度在东部高于西部,半球差异与观测到的下限(0.5%)相同。在这一机制中,其他观测约束条件也得到了满足--东部高纬度磁通量的可变性低于西部;外核底部的分层F层由内核区域熔化产生的质量通量提供,并受到磁阻尼,其稳态高度为$sim$ 200千米。

Polar ice develops anisotropic crystal orientation fabrics under deformation, yet ice is most often modelled as an isotropic fluid. We present three-dimensional simulations of the crystal orientation fabric of Derwael Ice Rise including the surrounding ice shelf using a crystal orientation tensor evolution equation corresponding to a fixed velocity field. We use a semi-Lagrangian numerical method that constrains the degree of crystal orientation evolution to solve the equations in complex flow areas. We perform four simulations based on previous studies, altering the rate of evolution of the crystal anisotropy and its dependence on a combination of the strain rate and deviatoric stress tensors. We provide a framework for comparison with radar observations of the anisotropy field, outlining areas where the assumption of one vertical eigenvector may not hold and provide resulting errors in measured eigenvalues. We recognise the areas of high horizontal divergence at the ends of the flow divide as important areas to make comparisons with observations. Here, poorly constrained model parameters result in the largest difference in fabric type. These results are important in the planning of future campaigns for gathering data to constrain model parameters and as a link between observations and computationally-efficient, simplified models of anisotropy.

The power of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) lies in its ability to sample deformation signals along an optical fiber at hundreds of locations with only one interrogation unit (IU). While the IU is calibrated to record 'fiber strain', the properties of the cable and its coupling to the rock control the 'strain transfer rate' and hence how much of 'rock strain' is represented in the recorded signal. We use DAS recordings in an underground installation colocated with an array of strainmeters in order to calibrate the 'strain transfer rate' in situ, using earthquake signals between 0.05 Hz and 0.1 Hz. A tight-buffered cable and a standard loose-tube telecommunication cable (running in parallel) are used, where a section of both cables loaded down by loose sand and sand bags is compared to a section, where cables are just unreeled on the floor. The 'strain transfer rate' varies between 0.13 and 0.53 depending on cable and installation type. The sandbags show no obvious effect and the tight-buffered cable generally provides a larger 'strain transfer rate'. Calibration of the 'strain transfer rate' with respect to the strainmeter does not depend on wave propagation parameters. Hence it is applicable to the large amplitude surface wave signal in a strain component almost perpendicular to the great-circle direction for which a waveform comparison with seismometer data does not work. The noise background for 'rock strain' in the investigated band is found at about an rms-amplitude of 0.1 nstrain in 1/6 decade for the tight-buffered cable. This allows a detection of marine microseisms at times of high microseism amplitude.
分布式声学传感技术(DAS)的强大之处在于,它只需一个询问单元(IU),就能在数百个位置对光纤沿线的形变信号进行采样。虽然 IU 经过校准以记录 "光纤应变",但光缆的特性及其与岩石的耦合控制着 "应变传递率",从而控制着记录信号中 "岩石应变 "的大小。我们使用 DAS 记录地下装置中的应变计阵列,利用 0.05 Hz 和 0.1 Hz 之间的地震信号就地校准 "应变传递率"。我们使用了一根直管电缆和一根标准的松套管通信电缆(平行运行),将两根电缆上都装有松散沙粒和沙袋的部分与电缆在地面上松开的部分进行比较。应变传递率 "介于 0.13 和 0.53 之间,取决于电缆和安装类型。沙袋没有明显的影响,而密闭缓冲缆索通常提供更大的 "应变传递率"。因此,它适用于几乎垂直于大圆方向的应变分量中的大振幅表面波信号,在这种情况下,与地震仪数据进行波形比较是无效的。在所研究的波段中,发现密闭缓冲电缆的 "岩石应变 "噪声背景的均方根振幅约为 0.1 nstrain in 1/6 decade。这样就可以在微震振幅较高时探测到海洋微震。

While the IU is calibrated to record 'fiber\u0000strain', the properties of the cable and its coupling to the rock control the\u0000'strain transfer rate' and hence how much of 'rock strain' is represented in\u0000the recorded signal. We use DAS recordings in an underground installation\u0000colocated with an array of strainmeters in order to calibrate the 'strain\u0000transfer rate' in situ, using earthquake signals between 0.05 Hz and 0.1 Hz. A\u0000tight-buffered cable and a standard loose-tube telecommunication cable (running\u0000in parallel) are used, where a section of both cables loaded down by loose sand\u0000and sand bags is compared to a section, where cables are just unreeled on the\u0000floor. The 'strain transfer rate' varies between 0.13 and 0.53 depending on\u0000cable and installation type. The sandbags show no obvious effect and the\u0000tight-buffered cable generally provides a larger 'strain transfer rate'.\u0000Calibration of the 'strain transfer rate' with respect to the strainmeter does\u0000not depend on wave propagation parameters. Hence it is applicable to the large\u0000amplitude surface wave signal in a strain component almost perpendicular to the\u0000great-circle direction for which a waveform comparison with seismometer data\u0000does not work. The noise background for 'rock strain' in the investigated band\u0000is found at about an rms-amplitude of 0.1 nstrain in 1/6 decade for the\u0000tight-buffered cable. This allows a detection of marine microseisms at times of\u0000high microseism amplitude.","PeriodicalId":501270,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Geophysics","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141949319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This work discusses how to choose performance measures to compare numerical simulations of a flood event with one satellite image, e.g., in a model calibration or validation procedure. A series of criterion are proposed to evaluate the sensitivity of performance measures with respect to the flood extent, satellite characteristics (position, orientation), and measurements/processing errors (satellite raw values or extraction of the flood maps). Their relevance is discussed numerically in the case of one flooding event (on the Garonne River in France in February 2021), using a distribution of water depths simulated from a shallow-water model parameterized by an uncertain friction field. After identifying the performance measures respecting the most criteria, a correlation analysis is carried out to identify how various performance measures are similar. Then, a methodology is proposed to rank performance measures and select the most robust to observation errors. The methodology is shown useful at identifying four performance measures out of 28 in the study case. Note that the various top-ranked performance measures do not lead to the same calibration result as regards the friction field of the shallow-water model. The methodology can be applied to the comparison of any flood model with any flood event.

The power law of aftershock evolution was proposed by Hirano in 1924 and introduced by Utsu into seismology in the second half of the last century. The Hirano-Utsu law is widely used in studying the relaxation of earthquake source after the main shock of an earthquake. The prevailing view in the literature is that the Hirano-Utsu law is an improved version of Omori's hyperbolic law, formulated in 1894. The author disagrees with this notion. The paper proposes an axiomatic approach to the study of aftershocks. A phenomenological parameter of the source, called the deactivation coefficient, was introduced. The theory is based on axioms that do not contain any a priori statements regarding the form of the law of aftershock evolution. Formulas for the deactivation coefficient are derived from the axioms, allowing one to experimentally establish the truth or falsity of the Hirano-Utsu and Omori laws. A two-stage mode of source relaxation was discovered. In the first stage, called the Omori epoch, the Omori law is strictly followed. The Omori epoch ends with a bifurcation, after which aftershock activity becomes unpredictable. Omori's law is not fulfilled at the second stage of evolution. The Hirano-Utsu law is not fulfilled either at the first or second stage. Keywords: earthquake source, main shock, relaxation, deactivation coefficient, evolution equation, inverse problem, Omori epoch, bifurcation, two-stage relaxation mode.
