What’s SimPEG?#

SimPEG (Simulation and Parameter Estimation in Geophysics) is a Python library for simulations, inversions and parameter estimation for geophysical applications.

The vision is to create a package for finite volume simulation with applications to geophysical imaging and subsurface flow. To enable the understanding of the many different components, this package has the following features:

  • Modular with respect to the spacial discretization, optimization routine, and geophysical problem.

  • Built with the inverse problem in mind.

  • Provides a framework for geophysical and hydrogeologic problems.

  • Supports 1D, 2D and 3D problems.

  • Designed for large-scale inversions.
