Earthquake science in the AI era

Seismology is a field rich in data and a challenging assortment of data-driven problems. Most observations of earthquakes are recorded at or near the surface of the Earth, and thus inverse problems are generally required to gain insights into the subsurface processes. This talk will give a broad introduction to some of the major problems faced in seismology and how AI is helping to accelerate scientific discovery in this field. I also will talk about recent AI research that has been inspired by some of these challenges from within seismology that are relevant to numerous scientific and engineering domains.
