KNOWAVES

Knowledge extraction from the state of active volcanoes and its application to eruption forecasting

Home / Projects / Knowaves

About the project

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.

Work packages (WP)

Responsible

María del Carmen Benítez Ortúzar

Goal

Use of DL techniques to improve the recognition of seismic events of volcanic origin and the determination (picking) of seismic phase arrivals. Creation of a database of seismometer transfer functions.

Responsible

Jesús Miguel Ibáñez Godoy

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.

Responsible

​Jesús Miguel Ibáñez Godoy

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.
