Earthquake Early Warning (EEW)• Use data from near an earthquake rupture

to warn population centers at a distance that shaking is imminent– Information can be transmitted at the speed of

light but strongest shaking is carried by waves traveling ~3.5 km/s

– Warnings can be used not only to alert people but to prepare infrastructure• Slow BART trains• Open fire station doors• Bring elevators to nearest floor

Page 5: Assorted innovations in earthquake early warning and rapid response

Earthquake studies• In real-time, determine basic information

(location, magnitude)• Later, determine spatial distribution of slip

– Involves 100s or 1,000s of free parameters in a highly under-determined and non-linear inverse problem• Really we want to do the full slip model in real-time

– In real-time, missing basic information such as which fault is rupturing

Solution

• Solve for slip AND fault geometry using semi-analytical solution

Introduction• Real-time high-rate

scientific-quality GPS data is proving to be very valuable for EEW and rapid response– Very limited global

distribution• Low quality GPS

receivers are globally ubiquitous– Smartphones– GPS navigation in cars

• Can supplement with low-cost community instruments (LCCIs)

• Quake Catcher Network

Challenges

• Huge errors associated with pseudorange-based GPS locations

• Even huger errors associated with attaching GPS to humans

• Communications issues• Data volume could be enormous

Page 10: Assorted innovations in earthquake early warning and rapid response

Caveat

• This is an altruistic EEW system– Normally we use instruments near the source

to warn humans at a distance– Here we use instruments attached to humans

near the source to warn humans at a distance

To-Do• Earthquake location and Mw

• Data resampling

• Focal mechanism

• Slip modeling

• Detection?• Quality control?

Reuse real-time finite fault inversion

e.g., Scripps group

Fit displacement amplitudes
