How to quickly predict PGV at a target site is a core issue of earthquake early warning (EEW) system. By using the embedded characteristics in ground motion sequence, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks-based onsite PGV prediction model (LSTM-PGV) is proposed in this paper. The LSTM-PGV model consists of three layer of LSTM and one fully connected layer, and the inputs are sequence features of energy-related, amplitude-related, period-related and distance-related P-wave parameters. The performance of the LSTM model on training, validation and test datasets indicates that the model has good generalization capability, and the predicted PGV and observed PGV can meet the 1:1 relationship in general. Compared with Pd-PGV model, a logarithmic linear regression model where Pd is the peak vertical displacement of the first 3 s P-waves, and LSTM-Pd-PGV model, a LSTM-based model with Pd as the sole input sequency feature where Pd is the maximum vertical displacement continuously changing over time, the proposed model predicts PGV more accurately and stably. Furthermore, the issue of underestimation of PGV for larger earthquakes is alleviated in LSTM-PGV model by using longer length of sequence input. The LSTM model is tested with one off-shore earthquake and one inland earthquake in Japan. The results show that the standard deviation of prediction residual goes from 0.417 at sequence length of 3 s to 0.309 at sequence length of 10 s for the off-shore event, and for the inland event the standard deviation decreases from 0.357 to 0.267 at corresponding sequence length. The prediction timeliness measured by lead time, defined as the time interval between the moment when the observed PGV reaches 17.3 cm/s and the moment when the predicted PGV reaches the same threshold, is also discussed for different magnitudes and hypocentral distances. We believe the proposed LSTM model has promising potential in onsite EEW system for providing accurate and timely PGV prediction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":"29 1","pages":"221 - 240"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In regions lacking robust seismic monitoring networks or sufficient data from historical events, ground motion simulations are crucial for assessing potential earthquake impacts. Yet, validating these simulations is challenging, leading to notable predictive uncertainty. This study aims to simulate four scenario earthquakes with moment magnitudes of 6.8, 7.1, 7.4, and 7.7 in Iran, specifically investigating variations in fault plane rupture and earthquake hypocenter. The North Tabriz Fault (NTF), located within the seismic gap in northwest Iran, is selected as the case study due to the lack of well-recorded ground motions from severe earthquakes, despite historical evidence of large-magnitude events. Simulations are conducted using a stochastic finite-fault ground motion simulation methodology with a dynamic corner frequency. Validation of the simulations is performed by comparing estimated peak ground motions and pseudo-spectral ordinates with existing ground motion models (GMMs), supplemented by inter-period correlation analysis. Simulation results reveal high hazard levels, especially in the northeastern area near the fault plane. Intensity maps in terms of the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale underscore the urgency for comprehensive preparedness measures. Finally, a region-specific GMM is developed using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to predict peak ground motion parameters with an online platform accessible to end-users.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":"29 1","pages":"147 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10950-024-10264-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method first screens the focal mechanism data via a grid search and boxplot, and this process eliminates the bias of the outliers on the results. Then, to improve the speed and accuracy of the inversion results, the method further inverts the stress tensor by means of Bayesian optimization, which can obtain high-precision results quickly by means of screened datasets and machine learning algorithms. The GSBBO method is validated using artificially synthesized focal mechanism data containing random noise and outliers for three stress systems. The obtained results are compared with those of grid search and Bayesian optimization, and the GSBBO method is able to accurately identify the outliers and provide more accurate results quickly. Applying the method to the area of the Great Wall Station in Antarctica, the results show that the area experiences near-vertical compressive stress and strong northwest‒southeast extensional stress, which is consistent with the extensional stress in the area due to the subsidence of the Phoenix Plate.
