Benchmarking Moment Tensor Solutions

Interested in combining geophysics with coding and software development? This project focuses on understanding earthquakes at their source using seismic moment tensor analysis.

We are looking for a student comfortable with programming and interested in testing and evaluating open-source tools. You will work with seismic data and compare the current method used in our processing platform with alternative solutions.

The goal is to evaluate and improve approaches for analyzing earthquake source mechanisms using moment tensor inversion.

Scope
• Investigate earthquake source mechanisms
• Work with seismic moment tensor analysis
• Compare performance of existing and open-source solutions
• Contribute to improving seismic data processing workflows

What You’ll Gain
• Hands-on experience with seismic data analysis
• Insight into earthquake source characterization
• Experience evaluating modern open-source tools in a real-world context
