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


Last updated on Fri Jul 17 01:50:07 UTC 2026 ( Thu Jul 16 21:50:07 EDT 2026 )

About: This website displays near-real-time, high-precision 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, discrimination, phase arrival-time picking, and association [click here]. New events are then located relative to a high-resolution background (base) catalog using waveform cross-correlation and double-differences [click here]. 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.
