Python course: Open-Source Geological modeling with GemPy
Time:

9:30am - 12:00pm
Location:Room 4.02
Session Abstract
The objective of this course is to teach geoscientists, engineers and researchers all the basics about 3D structural geological modeling using our open-source Python libraries: GemPy – an implicit geological modeling library (https://www.gempy.org/) - and GemGIS - an open-source geographic information processing library, capable of preprocessing spatial data such as vector data (shape files, geojson files, geopackages), raster data, data obtained from WMS services or XML/KML files.
We will start by building a relatively simple geological model from scratch by selecting interactively interfaces and orientations on digitized geological maps, cross sections or from satellite footage. Subsequently, we will introduce further functionalities as we add features – e.g. unconformities, faulting – to the geological model step by step. Towards the end, the participants will learn about the most important theoretical principles behind GemPy's implicit modeling engine, its advantages, and how to use it most efficiently.
