Tiny shakes: utilizing and modeling ambient seismic noise and induced seismic sequences

Speaker: Dr. Laura Ermert - ETH - Schweizerischer Erdbebendienst, Zürich (Switzerland) Tuesday, 7th March – 4:30 PM | Aula Arduino

07.03.2023

Ambient seismic noise is immensely useful in imaging and monitoring Earth’s interior. While applications of ambient noise seismology have become increasingly sophisticated, limitations imposed by its complex nature have also become apparent.

Continental formation and demise: perspectives from the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt

Speaker: Dr. Mattia Parolari (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - Institute of Geology) - Thursday 12 January - ore 16,30 | Aula Arduino

12.01.2023

At convergent margins, continents are unceasingly constructed and destroyed by arc magmatism and subduction, respectively. Interestingly, these opposing processes are intimately linked together.

Geothermal energy for energy transition: numerical modelling of hydrothermal systems and deep heat exchangers

Speaker: Dr. Gianluca Gola, CNR - Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources, Pisa (Italy) - Thursday 24 November - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

24.11.2022

Geothermal energy, defined as the thermal energy stored in the Earth, is considered a critical renewable energy source for the future, capable of contributing to environmentally friendly carbon-neutral energy conversion. To evaluate the underground geothermal potential, the knowledge of the temperature distribution with depth is a key aspect.

Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and earthquake forecasting

Speaker: Prof. Chris Marone (Università di Roma La Sapienza, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) - 1st Dicembre - 4,30 pm | Aula Arduino

01.12.2022

This talk will summarize how machine learning (ML) is being used with both active and passive lab seismic data to predict lab earthquakes. These works show: 1) that ML can predict the timing and magnitude of labquakes using acoustic emissions (AE) that originate in the lab fault zone and 2) that in addition to these passive measurements of lab AE, active source measurements of changes in fault zone elastic properties during the lab seismic cycle can be used to predict lab earthquakes.
