Machine learning helps predict crustal movements in Tibetan Plateau

Tibetan Plateau

New Delhi: Machine learning techniques used by scientists for modeling crustal deformations over the Tibetan Plateau have helped forecasting velocity vectors of such movements and enhancing the characterization of plate movements. Typically, a dense network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) is employed to continuously monitor crustal deformation. Campaign-mode GPS surveys are often used to densify the existing CORS network. Establishing a station in the desired location can be very challenging due to logistical problems and regional geographical considerations. Moreover, this process is expensive, and studies on crustal movement are…
