/slipBERI

slipBERI is a matlab slip inversion code to solve for earthquake slip in a Bayesian fashion on a given fault plane, incorporating fractal properties through a von Karman prior. See Amey et al 2018: https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JB015316

Primary LanguageMATLAB

slipBERI is a matlab slip inversion code, that uses geodetic data (InSAR/GNSS) to solve for earthquake slip at depth in a Bayesian sense. The primary purpose of this function is to incorporate fractal properties of earthquake slip through the incorporation of von Karman autocorrelation prior. There are also some other inversion techniques included in the function, though these are not thoroughly tested.

And please cite Amey, R. M. J., Hooper, A., & Walters, R. J. (2018) if you use this code in your research.

This code is expected to work correctly for von Karman regularisation on one fault strand. If using more than one fault strand, some functions may not work correctly.

Using slipBERI--

Details on all the inputs required for slipBERI can be found in the 'help' section of slipBERI.m

An example set-up function (make_structure_required_for_slipBERI.m) should be run first, to make structures containing the information required by slipBERI.

slipBERI can then be run in matlab by:
>> slipBERI(fault, data, testing, invert, priors, elastic_params, display, housekeeping )
