Original abstract

Rapid earthquake magnitude estimation is central to earthquake early warning, yet many operational systems depend on dense regional seismic networks and region-specific calibration. This creates a spatial coverage barrier for high-risk areas with sparse sensing infrastructure. Single-station learning offers a lower-cost alternative, but existing models often face an accuracy--latency trade-off and may degrade under regional distribution shift. We present SeisMamba, a lightweight Mamba-based architecture for low-latency magnitude estimation from minimally processed three-component seismic waveforms recorded at a single station. SeisMamba combines hierarchical convolutional encoding, sparse selective state-space modelling, multi-scale feature fusion, and an auxiliary temporal prediction head to support efficient long-sequence waveform analysis. On the STEAD benchmark, SeisMamba achieves the best MSE, RMSE, and $R^2$ among tested baselines while requiring only 0.55 ms for a batch of 32 waveforms on an NVIDIA T4 GPU, making it about three times faster than transformer-based baselines. We further conduct a Chile--Taiwan regional hold-out experiment as a diagnostic test of cross-region deployment, where SeisMamba retains useful performance on geographically unseen seismic regions. These results suggest that selective state-space waveform modelling provides a promising accuracy--latency backbone for spatially distributed, low-cost earthquake early warning.
