Title:

Integrating Array-Based Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) Methodologies into the USGS ShakeAlert EEW System

Agreement Number:

GC-130327S

Agreement Value:

$1,000,000.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 8, 2023 - May 31, 2024

Description:

The objective of this project is to integrate array-based Earthquake Early Warning methodologies into the USGS ShakeAlert EEW system. The proponent will develp a virtual array system, develop and test a digitizer-independent local array processing algorithm, and assess the resulting tools against those of the ShakeAlert system for potential integration.

Organization:

Natural Resources Canada

Expected Results:

Incorporation of array-based methodologies into EEW system will improve system performance for coastal and border regions where a more traditional EEW sensor station grid is not possible. This will enhance EEW alerts' reliability and warning times prior to the arrival of strong shaking from earthquakes.
