Description Time - lapse phenomena associated with underground explosion and the feasibility to monitor it using seismic has been studied in this project.

A new method to detect this phenomena using artificial intelligence is currently being developed.
Exploitation Route The AI-assisted detection method can be implemented for the CTBTO's OSI verification regime.

Also, this technology can be used for other monitoring of other time-lapse geophysical phenomena.
