Application of a convolutional neural network for seismic phase picking of mining-induced seismicity.

Monitoring mining-induced seismicity (MIS) can help engineers understand the rock mass response to resource extraction. With a thorough understanding of ongoing geomechanical processes, engineers can operate mines, especially those mines with the propensity for rock-bursting, more safely and efficiently. Unfortunately, processing MIS data usually requires significant effort from human analysts, which can result in substantial costs and time commitments.

ObsPlus: A Pandas-centric ObsPy expansion pack.

Over the past decade, ObsPy, a python framework for seismology (Krischer et al., 2015), has become an integral part of many seismology research workflows. ObsPy provides parsers for most seismological data formats, clients for accessing data-centers, common signal processing routines, and event, station, and waveform data models.
