Snippets:

• RECSEC: Bundle to produce record sections and radiation pattern maps for WILBER data (see here)
  
• DFETCH: Code bundle to acquire and process DART data (see here)
  
• BEAMER: Bundle for beamforming of tsunamis (see here)
  
• FRUN: Bundle of codes and scripts to calculate Rayleigh wave displacement fields from finite ruptures using normal modes theory. The outputs can readily be used in tsunami simulations (currently works up to ₀S₆₀, acceptable for working periods of tsunamis; see here and here).
  
• TSD: Tsunami Source Discretization package (see here).
  
• TsuNoise: Bundle of scripts & FORTRAN codes to sonify tsunami simulations using Gibbs entropy (see here).
• KagDom:Set of programs and scripts to find the dominant source geometry in a region, using available focal solutions (see here).
• TsuBox v2.0: Set of programs to ray-trace complex, finite tsunami sources (see here).
• OMEGA: Code/Parameter I am developing using the OBS signals to do tsunami warning.
• METEO: Finite-difference code to calculate meteotsunami amplitudes (see here).
• CATANIM: Creates 4D movies of earthquake distribution in a given catalog. You can access a crude outline of what I have already done here. Here is an example.
• RESPSHELL: A code package tp experimentally analyze the behavior of instrument response curves in different frequency bands (here).
• SNRGAP: A script package to create record gap datasets -- and movies -- using IRIS MUSTANG and similar services (see here).

Interesting Books, Papers and Dissertaions I am reading now[ish]:

• Barberopoulou, A., Qamar, A., Pratt, T.L., Creager, K.C. and Steele, W.P., 2004. Local amplification of seismic waves from the Denali Earthquake and damaging seiches in Lake Union, Seattle, Washington. Geophys. Res. Lett., 31(3).
• Menke, W., 2012. Geophysical Data Analysis: Discrete Inverse Theory. Academic Press.
• Saito, T. and Tsushima, H., 2016. Synthesizing ocean bottom pressure records including seismic wave and tsunami contributions: Toward realistic tests of monitoring systems. J Geophys Res: Solid Earth, 121(11), pp.8175-8195.
