Pyrocko - A Versatile Software Framework for Seismology

Pyrocko is an open-source seismology toolbox and Python library available for Linux, Windows and Mac. It can be utilized flexibly for a variety of geophysical tasks, like seismological data processing and analysis, modeling of waveforms and displacements from InSAR or GPS displacement data, or for seismic source characterization. At its core, Pyrocko is a library and framework providing building blocks for researchers and students wishing to develop their own applications.

Pyrocko contains standalone applications for everyday seismological practice. These include the Snuffler graphical user interface, an extensible seismogram browser and workbench, the Cake tool, providing travel-time and ray-path computations for 1D layered Earth models, Fomosto, a tool to manage pre-calculated Green's function stores, Jackseis, a command-line tool for common waveform archive data manipulations, and Colosseo, a tool to create synthetic earthquake scenarios, serving waveforms and static displacements. In this presentation, we want to provide an overview and introduction to Pyrocko’s features, focusing on standard seismological workflows and teasing the power modular building blocks.
