pyGIMLi is an open-source library for modelling and inversion and in geophysics. The object-oriented library provides management for structured and unstructured meshes in 2D and 3D, finite-element and finite-volume solvers, various geophysical forward operators, as well as Gauss-Newton based frameworks for constrained, joint and fully-coupled inversions with flexible regularization.
What is pyGIMLi suited for?
- analyze, visualize and invert geophysical data in a reproducible manner
- forward modelling of (geo)physical problems on complex 2D and 3D geometries
- inversion with flexible controls on a-priori information and regularization
- combination of different methods in constrained, joint and fully-coupled inversions
- teaching applied geophysics (e.g. in combination with Jupyter notebooks)
What is pyGIMLi NOT suited for?
- for people that expect a ready-made GUI for interpreting their data
