Knowledge extraction from the state of active volcanoes and its application to eruption forecasting
From 01 / 01 / 2016 to 31 / 03 / 2020
The main objective of the project is to develop an environment that integrates algorithms and protocols for analyzing and storing seismic and volcanic data useful for predicting volcanic eruptions.
The challenge of improving volcanic eruption forecasts and their use in alert management protocols is linked to the issues of public safety and protection from natural hazards.
KNOWAVES is a multidisciplinary project that combines the expertise of research groups in Signal Analysis and Processing, Machine Learning, Big Data, Knowledge Management, Volcanic Seismology and Active Volcanism.

Goal
Creation of a common seismogram database and a metadata catalog with their characteristics. Use of cloud services and development of technology for selective storage of information and its offering as a service.

Goal
Creation of a catalog with the events that occurred before each eruptive process and their characteristics. Study of polarization patterns. Extension of the FFM eruption prediction method to the Colima volcano. Establishment of an automatic protocol for predicting volcanic eruptions based on the repeatability of seismic signals.
Responsible
María del Carmen Benítez Ortúzar
Goal
Conduct a series of specific meetings (workshops) between groups specializing in signal analysis and volcanic seismologists to discuss and advance the development of the project.
