How To Cite

SeisSol does not have a particular “release paper” to cite. As primary reference, we therefore ask you to cite at least one paper that most closely matches the model you have used, for example: Elastic wave propagation Anisotropic elastic wave propagation Viscoelasticity Poroelasticity Elastic-acoustic coupling This also includes model extensions, such as: Dynamic rupture modelling Off-fault plastic deformation Please see the respective category below and select an appropriate paper.
