This $300,001 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to revolutionize earthquake science through the development of a foundational artificial intelligence (AI) model for advanced seismic data analysis. The project, led by the Trustees of Boston University, will train the AI model on vast amounts of seismic data to identify and characterize earthquake signals using cutting-edge techniques like transformer models. The goal is to improve earthquake detection, localization, and characterization, with potential for broader applications in geophysics. By fostering collaboration between AI experts and geoscientists, the project will contribute to training a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers. The findings, tools, and computational resources will be made available to the scientific community through open-source platforms to promote transparency and facilitate further research and innovation in earthquake science.
