Project summary

Research group: Center for Earthquake Research and Information, The University of Memphis, National Security Earth Sciences (EES-17), Los Alamos National Laboratory.

This study uses an industry dataset of 1,800 seismic nodes deployed over 30 days to detect potential seismic activity in a region with CO₂ sequestration potential. The objective was to assess the feasibility of monitoring low-magnitude seismicity using a dense nodal array in a challenging, industrial environment.

The dataset revealed strong opportunities.

Deep-learning-based denoising showed promise in enhancing signal clarity, while the large-N nodal configuration enabled stacking techniques to amplify coherent seismic energy. Together, these approaches demonstrate the potential of dense nodal arrays for seismic monitoring in CO₂ storage applications.
