Structural geologic modeling is a crucial part of many geoscientific workflows. There is a wide variety of applications, from geological research to applied fields such as geothermics, geotechnical engineering, and natural resource exploration. This short course introduces participants to GemPy, a powerful and successful open-source Python library for 3D geological modeling. GemPy allows users to generate geological models efficiently and integrates well with the Python ecosystem, making it a valuable resource for both researchers and industry professionals.
The course will cover the following topics:
(1) Modeling approach and theoretical background: An introduction to the principles behind implicit structural geological modeling.
(2) Creating a GemPy model: A step-by-step guide to building a basic geological model using GemPy.
(3) Open Source Project: An overview of GemPy's development, community, and opportunities for contribution.
(4) Outlook and applications: Exploration of the wide-ranging applications of GemPy in various geoscientific fields, including the link to geophysical inversion. Coding examples for advanced functionalities and examples from publications.
This interactive course is designed for both beginners and those with some experience in geological modeling. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop to actively engage in the tutorials and apply their newly acquired skills by writing their own code. While basic Python knowledge and a pre-installed Python environment are beneficial, they are not mandatory for participation.
