AI analysis of data from multiple sensors can improve earthquake detection

One seismometer is often not enough to reliably detect earthquakes or human activity such as underground nuclear tests. Rather, researchers combine readings from seismometers distributed across a small geographic area to gain confidence in their analysis. Artificial intelligence (AI) can combine readings from multiple sensors more effectively than classic technology, enabling more reliable detection of weak seismic signals, a new study by A. Köhler and colleagues shows.
