Software
This is a subset of our downloadable software for earthquake research. USGS uses GitHub for all new software development, as well as open sourcing older software as time allows. For a comprehensive listing of all available software, see how our applications work, and to collaborate with us, please go to USGS GitHub.
PQLX: A Software Tool to Evaluate Seismic Station Performance
PQLX is open-source software system for evaluating seismic station performance and data quality.
HASH 1.2
HASH is a Fortran 77 code that computes double-couple earthquake focal mechanisms from P-wave first motion polarity observations, and optionally S/P amplitude ratios.
HYPOINVERSE Earthquake Location
HYPOINVERSE2000 determines earthquake locations and magnitudes from seismic network data like first-arrival P and S arrival times, amplitudes and coda durations.
HypoDD
HypoDD is a Fortran computer program package for relocating earthquakes with the double-difference (DD) algorithm of Waldhauser and Ellsworth (2000).
ComCat Wrapper Libraries
Bulk access via scripts, programs, and tools for obtaining specific products from ComCat (the earthquake catalog).
Direct Green's Function Synthetic Seismograms
These programs are an implementation of the Direct Green’s Function method described by Friederich and Dalkolmo (1995) and Dalkolmo (1993).
Est_noise
est_noise is a time-series analysis program that allows the user to fit various, standard functions to their data (rates, offsets, rate-changes, sinusoidals, exponentials, and/or user-defined functions) and simultaneously quantifies the amount of temporal correlation in the time-series data.
FPFIT, FPPLOT and FPPAGE
FPFIT is a Fortran program that computes double-couple fault plane solutions from P-wave first motion data using a grid search method.
CLUSTER2000
CLUSTER2000 recognizes clusters in space-time in an earthquake catalog.
3D Focal Mechanisms
3D Focal Mechanisms is a tool for viewing earthquake focal mechanism symbols three dimensionally.
3D Velocity Modeling
Fortran code (VMS compatible) for 3-D velocity model determination and hypocentral location with local earthquake data.
