The Forecasting of Earthquakes
Big data and AI saving lives, like never before.
About AETA
What is the AETA earthquake forecasting project?
“Rather 1000 days no earthquakes, than 1 day with no precaution”
The Shenzhen Earthquake Monitoring and Prediction Technology Research Center of Peking University has developed a broadband electromagnetic disturbance and geoacoustic monitoring multi-component seismic monitoring and prediction system named AETA.
From 2016, 300 sets have been deployed in some of the most earthquake-active areas in China, of which 240 sets in Sichuan/Yunnan and neighboring provinces, and 60 sets in other areas. More systems will be deployed as soon as additional funding becomes available. Presently, 38TB of data has been collected, and 20GB of data is being collected daily.
The AETA Competition
Our 2020 & 2021 competitions
2020 Competition
First earthquake prediction AI algorithm competition, with 183 teams, that revealed 10 winners, with average yes/no accuracy above 70% highlighting a breakthrough in the prediction of earthquakes.
2021 Competition
From the 1st of January 2021, we have started a new competition, inviting teams from all over the world to participate in developing an algorithm designed to forecast earthquakes.
