Software

  • empymod

    The electromagnetic modeller empymod can model electric or magnetic responses due to a three-dimensional electric or magnetic source in a layered-earth model with vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) resistivity, VTI electric permittivity, and VTI magnetic permeability, from very low frequencies (DC) to very high frequencies (GPR). The calculation is carried out in the wavenumber-frequency domain, and various Hankel- and Fourier-transform methods are included to transform the responses into the space-frequency and space-time domains.

    empymod.github.io

  • emg3d

    A multigrid solver for 3D electromagnetic diffusion with tri-axial electrical anisotropy. The matrix-free solver can be used as main solver or as preconditioner for one of the Krylov subspace methods implemented in scipy.sparse.linalg, and the governing equations are discretized on a staggered Yee grid. The code is written completely in Python using the numpy/scipy-stack, where the most time- and memory-consuming parts are sped up through jitted numba-functions.

  • fftlog/pyfftlog

    A Python wrapper (fftlog) and a pure Python version (pyfftlog) for the logarithmic FFT Fortran code FFTLog by Andrew Hamilton.

  • Edi2Mare

    Edi2Mare is a little GUI to help you to convert EDI-files into the correct format to run inversions with MARE2DEM.
