Advancing the SRCMOD Database

Description: 

The SRCMOD database provides an openly accessible and consistent repository of finite-fault earthquake rupture models (http://equake-rc.info/srcmod/). These source models were inferred from kinematic modeling using a variety of source-inversion techniques. They are based on either seismic recordings, geodetic measurements or both, sometimes augmented with tsunami data. As a community-based database, SRCMOD is a platform for scientific authors to share their models for further research and teaching purposes. Over the last 10 years, the SRCMOD database has emerged as a significant resource and has been extensively used for seismological research. Topics of follow-up studies based on the SRCMOD database include earthquake rupture dynamics, source-scaling relations, stress-change calculations, intra-event variability of source models, and scenario earthquakes for seismic and tsunami hazard analysis.<CR>

In the near future, we aim to further develop the database and solicit input from the community. We also envision complementary repositories for dynamic rupture models and afterslip models. Fundamentally, our plan includes support for a number of data formats, software tools, interactive online visualization, and web services. These core functionalities will be implemented through eqsrcpy, a python package, currently being updated. The upgrade will not only be a paradigm shift for the database, but also will significantly improve its usefulness.
