This $589,708 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance artificial intelligence (AI) methods for imaging and monitoring the Earth's subsurface. The project aims to develop a multi-task deep learning inversion framework that can simultaneously estimate subsurface velocity structures and earthquake source parameters using passive seismic data. By integrating deep learning with conventional full-waveform inversion techniques, the research seeks to reduce dependence on initial models and improve computational efficiency for interpreting seismic data. The framework will be validated using real-world data from seismically active regions to support improved monitoring of natural hazards, environmental risks, and sustainable energy development. The award also includes plans to produce benchmark datasets and open-source tools to enable continued research in AI-enhanced Earth imaging and monitoring. This research aligns with the Geosciences program's goal of expanding scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system through fundamental studies across atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
