🌟OPEN ACCESS🌟Real‐Time Earthquake Monitoring with Deep Learning: A Case Study of the 2025 ML 6.4 Dapu Earthquake and Its Fault System in Southwestern Taiwan
On January 20, 2025, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southwestern Taiwan. Called the Dapu earthquake, it damaged more than 2,000 buildings and injured 50 people.
In a new study, researchers from 國立臺灣大學 National Taiwan University, YIC Geological Office in Taiwan, and Geociencias Barcelona - CSIC apply a deep-learning-based real-time microearthquake monitoring system for Taiwan. This system analyzed 3,893 aftershocks recorded within 15 days of the mainshock. By incorporating a 3D velocity model and the NonLinLoc earthquake location method, the team was able to assess the fault systems active in this earthquake sequence. Findings highlight the significance of real-time monitoring combined with a 3D velocity earthquake location method.
