QuakeMigrate: a Python package for earthquake detection and location using waveform migration and stacking.

QuakeMigrate

QuakeMigrate is a Python package for the detection and location of earthquakes using waveform migration and stacking.

QuakeMigrate uses a waveform stacking algorithm to search for coherent seismic phase arrivals across a network of instruments. It produces, from raw data, a catalogue of earthquakes with locations, origin times and phase arrival picks, as well as estimates of the uncertainties associated with these measurements.

The source code for the project is hosted on github.

This package is written by the QuakeMigrate developers, and is distributed under the GPLv3 License, Copyright QuakeMigrate developers 2020.

Supported operating systems

QuakeMigrate was developed and tested on Ubuntu 16.04/18.04, with the intention of being “platform agnostic”. As of July 2020, the package has been successfully built and run on:

  • Ubuntu 16.04/18.04/20.04
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Windows 10
  • macOSX High Sierra 10.13.6
