Multiscale seismic monitoring in the BedrettoLab
The seismology team recently published a paper highlighting the seismic monitoring capabilities at the BedrettoLab. It focuses on the dense seismic network deployed for real-time monitoring of natural and induced seismicity, generating high-resolution earthquake catalogs and event-based alerts for an advanced traffic-light system.
Two real-time monitoring systems, based on the SeisComP framework, monitor both background seismicity and injection experiments, utilizing a range of sensors with varying sampling rates. The standardized workflow for data processing includes automatic picking, phase association, magnitude estimation, double-difference relocation, and waveform cross-correlation, facilitating novel methods in seismology.
