Seismic wavefield of the Mw 7.5 Palu earthquake on 28 September 2018

22nd May 2020 0 By Nick Rawlinson

This movie shows the seismic wavefield (25 – 150 s) originating from the devastating Mw 7.5 Palu earthquake on 28 September 2018. It was computed using the spectral element code Salvus (Afanasiev et al. , 2019).
