Welcome to GemPy
GemPy is an open-source, Python-based project for generating 3D structural geological models. Utilizing an implicit modeling approach, it enables the creation of complex combinations of stratigraphical and structural features, including folds, faults, and unconformities. Moreover, GemPy is specifically designed for probabilistic modeling to tackle parameter and model uncertainties effectively.
Best of all: GemPy is completely free and open-source!
Open-Source 3D Structural & Probabilistic Geological Modeling
The latest version, GemPy v3, was released in 2024. Explore new features on our GitHub repo or head straight to the installation page to get started!
New Video Tutorial Series
Getting Started with GemPy v3
Our new video tutorial series guides you step by step through the process of building 3D geological models with GemPy. Designed to follow along with the respective tutorial notebook, it’s perfect for beginners and returning users alike.
The series is actively being released, with more videos coming soon—start exploring today and stay tuned for updates!
GemPy
Main Features
Rapid 3D Geomodeling
Based on an implicit approach and GPU-accelerated, GemPy enables you to create and update 3D structural geological models including diverse structural and stratigraphical features in a fast and simple way.
Probabilistic AI & Uncertainty Analysis
Leveraging automatic differentiation, GemPy is designed to integrate with probabilistic frameworks, enabling the application of Bayesian inference to your data and models. With GemPy, you can harness this probabilistic potential to effectively quantify uncertainties and identify how to minimize them.
Versatile Visualization
GemPy models can be flexibly visualized in both 2D and 3D, such as by using PyVista within Jupyter Notebooks for interactive viewing, or by exporting to external software such as Blender. Additionally, models can be directly pushed to the LiquidEarth app, developed by the same team behind GemPy
Open Code & Ecosystem
GemPy's code is completely open-source and transparent, allowing you to fully understand how your models are created and to integrate your own algorithms seamlessly. This openness ensures high integratability and interoperability, particularly with other libraries in the geoscientific open-source ecosystem, such as GemGIS, pyGIMLi, SimPEG, and more.
