== Stage 1: Inverse Problems ==
__'''Exercise: inv3'''__

In this test we consider a very large (MW 7.8) hypothetical strike-slip earthquake in Southern California, occurring on the southern San Andreas Fault.

 * Data files and further information can be found in the [[http://equake-rc.info/sivdb/wiki/Downloads|Download]] section.

----
__'''Exercise: inv2'''__

Synthetics for realizations for a Mw 7.0 normal-faulting earthquake (dip ~ 45deg), embedded in layered isotropic velocity-density structure.

Two cases are distributed, with varying station set, available data, and perturbations in the velocity structure

----
__'''Exercise: inv1'''__

Synthetics for a buried Mw 6.6 strike-slip earthquake (dip = 80deg), embedded in layered isotropic velocity-density structure.

Synthetics are provided at 40 sites around the fault; predictions need to be made for an additional set of 16 sites.

----------

== Stage 0: Forward Problems ==
These tests are meant to benchmark the forward-modeling tools/codes, using two simple point-source examples and two examples for a finite-fault model, considering strike-slip and dip-slip ruptures in each case.

 * Green's function validation
  . strike-slip point-source (ssp0)
  . dip-slip point-source (dsp0)

 * Extended-fault forward modeling
  . strike-slip extended-fault (sef0)
  . dip-slip extended-fault (def0)
