The Ghana Digital Seismic Network (GHDSN) data, with six broadband sensors, operating in southern Ghana for two years (2012-2014). The recorded dataset is processed for simultaneous event detection and phase picking by a Deep Learning (DL) model, the EQTransformer tool. Here, the detected earthquakes consisting of supporting data, waveforms (including P and S arrival phases), and earthquake bulletin are presented. The bulletin includes the 559 arrival times (292 P and 267 S phases) and waveforms of the 73 local earthquakes in SEISAN format. The supporting data encompasses the preliminary crustal velocity models obtained from the joint inversion analysis of the detected hypocentral parameters. These parameters comprised of a 6- layer model of the crustal velocity (Vp and Vp/Vs ratio), incident time sequence, and statistical analysis of the detected earthquakes and hypocentral parameters analyzed and relocated by the updated crustal velocity and graphic representation of them a 3D live figure enlighting the seismogenic depth of the region. This dataset has a unique appeal for earth science specialists to analyze and reprocess the detected waveforms and characterize the seismogenic sources and active faults in Ghana. The metadata and waveforms have been deposited at the Mendeley Data repository [1].

Plate tectonics predicts that mountain ranges form by tectono-magmatic processes at plate boundaries, but high topography is often observed along passive margins far from any plate boundary. The high topography of the Scandes range at the Atlantic coast of Fennoscandia is traditionally assumed isostatically supported by variation in crustal density and thickness. Here we demonstrate, by our Silverroad seismic profile, that the constantly ~44 km thick crust instead is homogenous above the Moho, and Pn-velocity abruptly change from 7.

Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest volcanic systems on Earth, hosting three major caldera-forming eruptions in the past two million years, interspersed with periods of less explosive, smaller-volume eruptions. Caldera-forming eruptions at Yellowstone are sourced by rhyolitic melts stored within the mid- to upper crust. Seismic tomography studies have suggested that a broad region of rhyolitic melt extends beneath Yellowstone Caldera, with an estimated melt volume that is one to four times greater than the eruptive volume of the largest past caldera-forming eruption, and an estimated melt fraction of 6-28 per cent.

We present a new seismotomography investigation providing a 3-D overall model of Vp, Vs and Vp/Vs for Mt. Etna, the largest and most active volcano in Europe. We estimated and jointly evaluated P- and S-wave velocity patterns together with the Vp/Vs ratio, particularly useful to discriminate the presence of groundwater, gas, and melts and thus very precious for volcano investigations.

To clarify the relationship between GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) crustal deformation and the preparation of strong earthquakes in the western Chinese Mainland, a series of methods including velocity field, strain rate field, and strain parameter time series are adopted based on the GNSS observation data from the CMONOC (Crustal Movement Observation Network of China). The abnormal characteristics of crustal deformation movement before the M ≥ 5 earthquakes in the area since 1999 are studied. The corresponding variety of the crustal movement before earthquakes is discussed in combination with the seismogenic structure of earthquakes.

Pump-probe experiments investigate the strain sensitivity of crustal elastic properties, showing nonlinear variations during the strain cycle. In the laboratory, pre-seismic reductions in seismic velocity indicate that asperity contacts within the fault zone begin to fail before the macroscopic frictional sliding. The recognition of such effects in natural seismic-cycles has been challenging.
