Conference Paper Description

With the ever increasing number of geodetic monitoring satellites, it is vital to have a variety of geophysical simulations produce synthetic datasets. Furthermore, just as hurricane forecasts are derived from the consensus among multiple atmospheric models, earthquake forecasts cannot be derived from a single comprehensive model. Here we present the functionality of Virtual Quake (formerly known as Virtual California), a numerical simulator that can generate sample co-seismic deformations, gravity changes, and InSAR interferograms in addition to producing probabilities for earthquake scenarios. Virtual Quake is now hosted by the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics. It is available for download and comes with a user manual. The manual includes a description of the simulator physics, instructions for generating fault models from scratch, and a guide to deploying the simulator in a parallel computing environment. http://geodynamics.org/cig/software/vq/.
