Sparse sensing is a technique for finding sparse signal repre- sentations to underdetermined linear measurement equations. We use sparse sensing to locate seismic sources during the rupture of the 2011 Mw9.0 earthquake in Japan from teleseis- mic P waves recorded by a seismic sensor array of stations in the United States. The location estimates of the seismic sources are obtained by minimizing the square of l2-norm of the difference between the observed and modeled waveforms penalized by the l1-norm of the seismic source vector. The resulting minimization problem is convex and can be solved efficiently using LASSO type optimization. The potential to track the rupture sequentially is demonstrated.
