  1. Abstract

    Classification of local‐distance, low‐magnitude seismic events is challenging because signals can be numerous and difficult to characterize with approaches developed for larger magnitude events observed at greater distances. Yet, accurate classification is important to studies of earthquake processes and detection of potential underground nuclear tests. Here, we combine two classification metrics: the three‐component ratio of high‐frequency P/S amplitudes and the difference between local and coda duration magnitudes (ML‐MC). The metrics use different parts of the high‐frequency wavefield and exhibit complementary sensitivity for classification ofM∼ 0.5–4 natural earthquakes and borehole explosions, which are the best analog for underground nuclear explosions. Using means from bootstrap resampling across four diverse geologic settings, joint classification achieves >94.4% true positives and <8.4% false positives when using8 seismographs within 200 km of the source. This high performance is obtained without local site corrections, indicating that the method may be transportable for local event classification.
