Advancements in Forensic Seismology and Explosion Monitoring

Geophysical signatures are crucial for enhancing the detection and characterization of anthropogenic activity. This session invites abstracts showcasing the latest advances in geophysical forensic analysis for global security and monitoring. Topics may encompass observation, modeling, and characterization of events that produce ground coupled signals including explosions, mining collapse, and bolides. We also seek to highlight advancements, physics-based and data-driven, in source, propagation, and signal analysis related to controlled source experiments. Submissions integrating multimodal observations and innovative instrumentation, such as distributed acoustic sensing, gradiometry, remote sensing, infrasound, and large-N arrays, are encouraged. This session aims to foster collaboration and discussion among experts to drive innovations in forensic seismology and explosion monitoring.
