Invert4geom#
3D geometric gravity inversions
Invert4geom is a Python library for performing 3D geometric gravity
inversions, where the aim is to recover the geometry of a density contrast. Typical use cases include modeling the topography of the Moho, the
sediment-basement contact, or bathymetry. These density contrasts are
represented by a layer of vertical right-rectangular prisms. Since we use
vertical prisms, they don’t take the curvature of the Earth into account. For
large-scale applications, such as continental studies, it would be better to use
tesseroids instead of prisms. See the overview for further description of this package and what
it can be used for. Early-stages of development This package is at the very beginning of it’s development! This means that we are still adding a lot of new features and sometimes we
make changes to the ones we already have while we try to improve the
software based on users’ experience, test new ideas, take better design
decisions, etc.
Some of these changes could be backwards incompatible. Keep that in
mind before you update Invert4Geom to a newer version. How to contribute Please, read our Contributor Guide to learn
