FaultQuake: An Open-Source Python Tool for Estimating Seismic Activity Rates in Faults

OVCW workflow

FaultQuake workflow

FaultQuake is primarily developed and tested on Debian-based Linux OS systems. Therefore, we suggest using FaultQuake in such environments for the best experience. While it's possible to use FaultQuake on Windows and macOS, there may be challenges during compiling and running the workflow due to potential compatibility issues.

We greatly value community contributions and are steadfastly committed to continuously addressing and resolving any bugs that arise in the repository. Should you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We implement the FaultQuake workflow in six steps, using a FaultQuake conda environment:

Installation

The installation guides for these environments are provided below:

FaultQuake environment:

Create and activate a conda environment, FaultQuake for detecting the primary events:

conda create -n faultquake python=3.10
conda activate faultquake
pip install numpy scipy matplotlib PyQt5 statsmodels

How to run FaultQuake

conda activate faultquake
python ./FaultQuake.py
