Seismology examples

One executed example per breakthrough in Breakthroughs in Seismology, in chronological order, each with an asserted check of the result it shows. Download the Python source or notebook from each page. Seismology: units, equations and validation records units and limits; all examples use deterministic synthetic inputs and require no downloads.
