Pyrocko

Pyrocko is a powerful open-source seismology toolbox and library, primarily developed using the Python programming language. It offers a versatile environment for a wide range of geophysical applications, enabling users to perform tasks such as seismological data processing and detailed analysis, as well as the advanced modeling of InSAR, GPS data, and dynamic waveforms. The platform also supports comprehensive seismic source characterization.

At its core, Pyrocko functions as a robust library and framework, providing essential building blocks for researchers and students who aim to develop their own specialized applications. It fosters a collaborative environment, with resources like a dedicated manual, installation guides, a Git repository for version control, and a community chat for support and discussions. The project's home base is UPCODES at the University of Potsdam in Germany, highlighting its academic and research-driven foundation.

The project maintains an active development cycle, regularly releasing news and updates. Recent highlights include a new home base, workshops, the introduction of "Pyrocko-Box" (a VM image for easy setup), and new tools like "Sparrow" for visualizing geophysical datasets. These developments underscore Pyrocko's commitment to providing up-to-date and accessible tools for the seismology community.
