ABSTRACT The 2023 Mw 7.8 southeast Türkiye earthquake was recorded by an unprecedentedly large set of strong-motion stations very close to its rupture, opening the opportunity to observe the rupture process of a large earthquake with fine resolution. Here, the kinematics of the earthquake source are inferred by finite-source inversion based on...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a nascent technology that facilitates the measurement of vibrations along fibre-optic telecommunication cables, which has numerous novel applications in many domains of science and engineering. In the present study, we use DAS to analyse traffic along a fibre-optic cable deployed along a major road in Nice,...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a technology that can be employed to record vibrations along fiber optic (telecommunication) cables, including those generated by human activities. Since the optical fiber cables are often deployed along existing traffic infrastructures, DAS has the potential to record vehicular traffic flows, which permits...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has recently emerged as a promising technology for traffic monitoring. It transforms standard fiber-optic telecommunication cables into an array of vibration sensors capable of capturing vehicle-induced subsurface deformation with high spatio-temporal resolution. In this study, we propose a deep learning...

Dendrometry is the main non-invasive macroscopic technique commonly used in plant physiology andecophysysiology studies. Over the years several types of dendrometric techniques have been developed,each with their respective strengths and drawbacks. Automatic and continuous monitoring solutionsare being developed, but are still limited,...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is of critical value for the offshore expansion of seismological networks. The work presented here is part of the 5-years ERC ABYSS project, which aims at building a permanent seafloor seismic observatory leveraging offshore telecommunication cables along the central coast of Chile. In preparation for this...

Fiber-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is of critical value for the expansion of seismological networks, particularly in regions that are hard to instrument. The work presented here is part of the 5-year ERC ABYSS project, which aims at building a permanent seafloor observatory to increase our ability to capture low magnitude seismic...

Fibre-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology for vibration measurements with numerous applications in seismic signal analysis as well as in monitoring of urban and marine environments, including microseismicity detection, ambient noise tomography, traffic density monitoring, and maritime vessel tracking. A major...

On continental margins, sediments cause significant and spatially variable delays in seismic phase arrival times. The strong impedance contrast of the sediment‐bedrock interface causes P‐wave splitting that is clearly seen on distributed acoustic sensing recordings of earthquakes, resulting in additional phase arrivals that must be picked...

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that the 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş (Türkiye) earthquake started on a splay fault, then branched bilaterally onto the nearby East Anatolian Fault (EAF). This rupture pattern includes one feature previously deemed implausible, called backward rupture branching: rupture propagating from the splay fault onto the...

Recent developments in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) have greatly expanded our capabilities for dense geophysical instrumentation by tapping into existing (but unused) fibre-optic telecommunication networks. Leveraging these so-called "dark fibres" permits an extremely rapid deployment of thousands of vibration sensors over distances of...
