MinVel MinVel

This program is used to calculate anharmonic p- and s-wave velocity and density for zero-porosity mineral aggregates. It is based on the work of Hacker and Abers (2004, updated in 2016) with additional minerals and optimized for related work. Running the code in either MATLAB or Python requires a mineral physics database, MineralPhysicsDatabase.nc (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HN170G)...

Prism Engine software source code v2.0.0 Prism Engine software source code v2.0.0

A continually increasing number of high-quality digital strong-motion records from stations of the National Strong Motion Project (NSMP) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as well as data from regional seismic networks within the U.S., called for automated processing of strong-motion records with human review limited to selected significant or flagged records. This PRISM (Processing...

USGS automated ground motion processing software USGS automated ground motion processing software

The goal of this project is to update, restructure, and consolidate existing USGS ground-motion processing software to incorporate recent advances from researchers at the USGS, PEER, and others. It will standardize tools for multiple USGS ground-motion products and enable scientists within the USGS and the external community to develop and expand ground-motion datasets used in many...

Slab2 Slab2

A three-dimensional compilation of global subduction geometries, separated into regional models for each major subduction zone.

STATIC1D STATIC1D

These programs solve the equations of static equilibrium in a spherically layered isotropic medium using a decomposition into spheroidal and toroidal motions.

strainz17: Earthquake Strains and Rotations strainz17: Earthquake Strains and Rotations

Strainz17.m is a MATLAB-language function for deriving the best-fitting uniform strain tensor and rigid body rotation as functions of time, based on ground displacement or velocity recordings made on an array of sensors.

PS2FF PS2FF

Produce approximated finite fault distances and variance corrections given point source information, for example, Repi (epcentral distance) to Rjb (Joyner-Boore distance) or Rrup (closest distance to rupture).

SATSI SATSI

SATSI (Spatial And Temporal Stress Inversion) is a modified version of Michael's (JGR 1984, 1987) code that inverts focal mechanism data for a spatially and/or temporally varying stress field.

Quakeml Quakeml

A uniform ANSS standard for seismic parametric data.

MacRay MacRay

MacRay is a general purpose two-dimensional seismic ray-tracer for Macintosh.

MacR1D MacR1D

MacR1D is a one-dimensional seismic travel-time calculator for Macintosh.
