Earthquake detection via fiber-optic cables using deep learning

Repurposing the fiber-optic cables from the existing telecommunication infrastructure makes it possible to record dense continuous seismic data in urban areas at low cost. From 2016 to 2019, we connected a disctributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogator unit to the fiber-optic cables in telecommunication conduits under Stanford University campus, recording years of continuous seismic data.

This repository contains the source code for performing earthquake detection using deep learning on the data recorded by the Stanford fiber-optic DAS array.
