1.5. How to continue#

Now that you have run your first modelling and inversion examples, here are some pointers for digging deeper.

1.5.1. Examples and tutorials#

The Examples gallery and Tutorials collection cover a wide range of geophysical methods (ERT, seismics, gravimetry, induced polarization, flow & transport) and dive into more advanced topics such as joint inversion, structural constraints, and 3D problems.

Examples

Specialized demonstrations and case studies organized by method.

Examples
Tutorials

Step-by-step walkthroughs of meshing, modelling, and inversion concepts.

1.5.2. The pyGIMLi paper#

For a comprehensive overview of the design, capabilities and several worked examples, see the pyGIMLi paper [Rücker et al., 2017]:

Rücker, C., Günther, T., Wagner, F.M., 2017. pyGIMLi: An open-source library for modelling and inversion in geophysics, Computers and Geosciences, 109, 106–123, doi:10.1016/j.cageo.2017.07.011.

All scripts to reproduce the figures of the paper are available at https://cg17.pygimli.org. If you use pyGIMLi for your work, please consider citing this paper (see Citing pyGIMLi).

1.5.3. Video tutorials and workshops#

We have given several hands-on workshops and webinars whose recordings and accompanying Jupyter notebooks are available online.

1.5.3.1. SEG webinar — Near-Surface Geophysics: Open-Source Software#

Notebooks are available in the SEGwebinar repository.

1.5.3.2. Transform conference tutorials (SWUNG)#

The geoscience software developer group Software Underground (SWUNG) hosts the yearly Transform conference. We contributed pyGIMLi tutorials in 2021 and 2022. Recordings can be found on the SWUNG YouTube channel, and the notebooks are available at:
