SeisBench provides trained phase pickers, including PhaseNet and EQTransformer, that identify P and S arrivals in continuous seismic records. Phase picking is the step between raw waveforms and an earthquake catalog, and manual picking does not scale to continuous multi-station data.

Runs on CPU, so large back catalogs can be processed without GPU scheduling.

Run SeisBench on your data

The lab runs this on its own compute, in a container, with the inputs and parameters recorded alongside the result. Initial scoping conversations are free.
