when a SPECFEM developer has a summer holiday project.. check out seismic wiggles :) apps.apple.com/us/app/wiggl... #Wiggles #FDSNstationmonitor #iOS

#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...

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

for comparison, this simulation is using the same mesh resolution, but with flat topography and just a single centroid-moment tensor (CMT) source. the noisy scattering pattern is mostly due to the USGS finite-fault solution that uses 147 single point sources with interfering wavefields.

#specfem3d example of computing the shaking of the 2004 Dec. 5 Waldkirch event (~Mw4.7) in the nearby city of Freiburg, Germany, by injecting the regional wavefield into a very small-scale local simulation (grid point spacing ~15m) - wavefield injection from regional into local SPECFEM3D
