Real-Time, High-Precision, Deep-Magnitude Earthquake Catalog for Axial Seamount
Combining machine learning, cross-correlation and double-difference algorithms


Last updated on Fri Apr 4 01:27:17 UTC 2025 ( Thu Apr 3 21:27:17 EDT 2025 )

About: This website displays near-real-time, machine-learning based, double-difference hypocenter locations for earthquakes recorded by the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) cabled OBS array at Axial Seamount. The continuous waveform data is processed using machine-learning methods for detection, phase arrival-time picking, and association. New events are then located relative to a high-resolution background (base) catalog using waveform cross-correlation and double-differences. For more details see here.
Precursory mixed frequency earthquakes (MFEs; blue squares in figure), lava flow events, and whale calls are also monitored, using unsupervised ML.
This web site is updated every 10 minutes.
