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...

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...

Faults form dense, complex multi‐scale networks generally featuring a master fault and myriads of smaller‐scale faults and fractures off its trace, often referred to as damage. Quantification of the architecture of these complex networks is critical to understanding fault and earthquake mechanics. Commonly, faults are mapped manually in the...

Over a period of less than a decade, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has become a well-established technology in seismology. For historical and practical reasons, DAS manufacturers usually provide instruments that natively record strain (rate) as the principal measurement. While at first glance strain recordings seem related to ground motion...
