baytomo3d is an open source Python tool to perform an McMC transdimensional Bayesian inversion of body and/or surface waves. It is inverting for the 3D Vs and Vp subsurface structure in the crust and upper mantle. The algorithm expects a set of body-wave traveltime measurements between an earthquake and an array of seismic stations and/or surface phase traveltime measurements at different frequencies between pairs of seismic stations.There are example datasets and scripts provided with this software, so interested users can get familiar with the method and experiment with the available inversion options.
The Priority Programme "Mountain Building Processes in Four Dimensions (4D-MB SPP), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for six years (beginning in 2017).
The 4D-MB SPP forms an integral part of the international AlpArray mission to image the structure of the Alps from their surface down to several hundred kilometers depth in the mantle. It tests the hypothesis that re-organizations of Earth’s mantle during the collision of tectonic plates have both immediate and long-lasting effects on crustal motion, fault kinematics, earthquake distribution and surface evolution. It challenges conventional wisdom by recognizing that linked processes between Earth’s surface and mantle beneath mountain belts can only be explained by integrating 3D imaging of the entire crust-mantle system with geologic observations and modeling to enable us to look both backwards and forwards in time, the 4th dimension. This requires a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that integrates geophysics, tectonics, petrology, geochronology, basin- and surface studies.
