#shakemovie simulation - Venezuela event using M7.2 & M7.5 double CMT solutions from USGS. this uses the updated M7.2 CMT (half-duration 17.5s) and the M7.5 CMT (half-duration 0.5s - weird for an event of such magnitude). body waves might have triggered the Kuji M6.9 event #specfem3D_globe

SPECFEM3D Cartesian on the Moon - on April 19, 1972, the Apollo 16 S-IVB rocket booster was sent on collision with the Moon for a seismic experiment to study Moon's interior. Simulation includes subsurface scatterers and Apollo 12 seismic station #specfem3d

#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.

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

#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
