Stanford fiber-optic DAS array: Earthquake detection dataset

Repurposing the fiber-optic cables from the existing telecommunication infrastructure makes it possible to record dense continuous seismic data in urban areas at low cost. From 2016 to 2019, we connected a disctributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogator unit to the fiber-optic cables in telecommunication conduits under Stanford University campus, recording years of continuous seismic data.

This repository contains processed TensorFlow Record data files containing examples of earthquake and background noise signals recorded by the Stanford fiber-optic DAS array. These data were used for training, evaluation, and testing of a convolutional neural network for earthquake detection.
