#specfem3d peak-ground motion (PGV) shakemap of the time-reversal simulation of the Birch glacier collapse. it should highlight the event site - but sometimes things are not so simple.

#specfem3d time-reversal simulation of the Birch glacier collapse. Reinjecting seismic data from all available Swiss broadband stations together with the velocity model from Diehl et al. (2021) pinpoints the source of all that seismic energy...

New ChEESE Codes Interview: SPECFEM!

Ever wondered how we “see” what’s happening beneath the Earth’s surface?

In our latest video, Vadim Monteiller (CNRS) introduces SPECFEM, a powerful seismic simulation tool used in a wide range of applications.

Last Friday, two strong Mw6.2 earthquakes struck near Panama and Alaska - just ~3 minutes apart - followed by a smaller Mw5.7 quake. As if Panama and Alaska decided to sync up.. here’s a #shakeMovie visualization - watch as they light up the Earth with some nice fringes #specfem3dGLOBE

#SPECFEM codes hit 30,000+ citations!

awkward moment. when your simulation software has a bigger social circle than you do and your code is more popular than you’ll ever be. 🙂 well done Dimitri.
