AI Model Reveals Hidden Earthquake Swarms Under Italian Volcano
A Stanford-led research team used AI to detect over 54,000 earthquakes, quadrupling previous counts and identifying new faults in the Campi Flegrei region.
A Clearer View of Seismic Risk
Researchers are using artificial intelligence to better understand escalating seismic activity in Italy's Campi Flegrei, a densely populated volcanic area. In a study published in the journal Science on September 4, 2025, a team from Stanford University and Italian research institutes detailed how a new AI model identified thousands of previously unseen earthquakes.
The AI model analyzed massive sets of seismic monitoring data from 2022 to 2025. It detected more than 54,000 earthquakes in the region. This figure is more than four times the 12,000 earthquakes that had been identified using previous methods. …
