We are pleased to announce the third workshop on Earthquake Physics and Applications of Machine Learning to Tectonic Faulting.
The workshop will be held in the historic center of Rome and will include talks, poster sessions and ample time for formal and informal discussion.
We intend to highlight recent progress on earthquake physics and the application of machine learning to earthquake science. One key goal is to bring together experts in earthquake physics with those from Data Science and other areas of AI. While the workshop will focus primarily on community progress we will also highlight advances made during the ERC project TECTONIC, which will end in Sep. 2025.
Recent advances in the application of machine learning (ML) to earthquake science have had dramatic impact in earthquake physics, seismology, fault mechanics and other areas of geophysics. The ability to: 1) predict lab earthquakes and fault zone stress state during the lab seismic cycle, 2) identify earthquakes and fault motion in noisy seismic or geodetic data, 3) use ML to track fault zone evolution during the seismic cycle, and 4) use foundation models to resolve earthquake source properties using few-shot learning is remarkable and will motivate our science sessions.
The 3rd workshop will include 4.5 days of science, beginning with an ice breaker on Sunday evening the 21st and closing after lunch on Friday.
The workshop will be limited to 90 people and will included catered lunches, poster sessions with wine and cheese, and a group social dinner. The registration fee is €250 for students and €450 for others. The fee will be payable upon acceptance of the application.
We invite applications from the scientific community. Unfortunately, given the limited size of the meeting we do not expect to approve all applications. For the application, please explain your interest in the workshop in the context of your current/future research interests and/or provide a brief abstract and title for a talk or poster.
Applications. Please fill out this brief form to apply.
Application deadline is July 15
Acceptance notifications will be sent by July 25
