Basic Examples¶

This gallery contains foundational examples for the Mineye-Terranigma project, demonstrating core workflows in 3D geological modeling and geophysical forward modeling using GemPy.

Gallery Overview¶

These examples introduce the fundamental concepts and workflows needed for geological modeling and geophysical analysis. They are designed to be accessible to users new to implicit geological modeling while providing sufficient detail for advanced applications.

Prerequisites¶

Basic understanding of geological concepts (stratigraphy, structural geology)
Familiarity with Python programming
Knowledge of geophysical methods (for gravity/magnetics examples)
Installed packages: gempy, gempy-viewer, numpy, matplotlib, geopandas

Example Progression¶

The examples build upon each other in increasing complexity:

Simple Geological Model: Learn the basics of 3D implicit modeling with GemPy.
Complex Geological Model: Model more intricate structures like the Tharsis pluton.
Forward Gravity Model: Apply geophysical forward modeling to geological structures.

Data and Configuration¶

All examples use real data from the Tharsis mining district in Spain. Data paths are managed through the mineye.config.paths module, making it easy to adapt examples to your own projects.
