Exercises

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 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

Data files and further information can be found in the Download section.

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)
