Abstract

The Seismic Research Centre, University of the West Indies operates a seismic network that performs suboptimally in detecting, locating, and correctly determining the magnitude of earthquakes due to a diverse constituion of seismometers and the utilization of a site selection process that approximates an educated guess. My work seeks to apply Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to arrive at the optimal network configuration and aid in site selection.
