swprepost is a Python package for performing surface wave inversion pre- and
post-processing. swprepost was developed by Joseph P. Vantassel under the
supervision of Professor Brady R. Cox at The University of Texas at Austin. The
package includes 11 class definitions for interacting with the various
components required for surface wave inversion. It is designed to integrate
seamlessly with the Dinver module of the popular open-source software Geopsy,
however has been written in a general manner to ensure its usefulness with other
inversion programs. Furthermore, some of the class definitions provided such as
GroundModel
may even be of use to those working in the Geotechnical or
Geophysical fields, but who do not perform surface wave inversions.
If you use swprepost in your research or consulting we ask you please cite the following:

Note: For software, version specific citations should be preferred to general concept citations, such as that listed above. To generate a version specific citation for swprepost, please use the citation tool for that specific version on the swprepost archive.
For the motivation behind the development of swprepost and its role in a larger project focused on developing a complete and rigorous workflow for surface wave inversion please refer to and consider citing the following:

If you do not have Python 3.6 or later installed, you will need to do so. A detailed set of instructions can be found here.
-
If you have not installed swprepost previously use
pip install swprepost
. If you are not familiar withpip
, a useful tutorial can be found here. If you have an earlier version and would like to upgrade to the latest version of swprepost usepip install swprepost --upgrade
. -
Confirm that
swprepost
has installed/updated successfully by examining the last few lines of text displayed in the console.
-
Download the contents of the examples directory to any location of your choice.
-
Explore the Jupyter notebooks in the basic directory for a no-coding-required introduction to the swprepost package. If you have not installed
Jupyter
, detailed instructions can be found here. -
Move to the adv directory and follow the Jupyter notebook title
example_swinvert_workflow.ipynb
for an example application of swprepost to the SWinvert workflow (Vantassel and Cox, 2021). -
Enjoy!
