Publications:

The open-source development of the SPECFEM codes has allowed researchers across the globe to apply them in various fields of study. Below shows the citation count of journal articles that utilised the SPECFEM codes. Seminal papers relating to the development of, and theory behind, SPECFEM can be found on the Training page.
