Volcano-Tectonic (VT) earthquakes, Long-Period (LP) earthquakes and Icequakes (IC) are the seismic signals classes considered in this study.
Clustering on dissimilarity representations for detecting mislabelled seismic signals at Nevado del Ruiz volcano
In this study, we consider three classes of seismic signals originating from NRV: Volcano-Tectonic (VT) earthquakes, Long-Period (LP) earthquakes and Icequakes (IC); of course, for every seismically monitored volcano, seismologists use their own classification with more detailed descriptions of every subtype of earthquakes (Zobin, 2003).
