Fatiando a Terra

Hello Mastodon! Here's an .

We're Fatiando a Terra (fatiando.org), a community of geoscientists and software developers building tools in for and . See the thread below 👇🏽 for an overview.

First, a little trivia: "Fatiando a Terra" is Portuguese for "Slicing the Earth", a reference to the project's Brazilian 🇧🇷 roots and ambitious goals to model the entire planet.

Screenshot of the Fatiando logo (the Earth with a slice cut off showing the inner layers). Text says: An open toolbox for the Geosciences. Fatiando provides Python libraries for data processing, modeling, and inversion across the Geosciences. It is built by a community of geoscientists and software developers with a passion for well-designed tools and helping our peers. All of our code is free and open-source, distributed under the permissive BSD 3-clause license. Below it, there are the logos of our main Python tools: Verde, Pooch, Harmonica, Boule, and Ensaio.

Fatiando a Terra

Tool number 1 - Verde: Gridding, machine learning style.

Verde offers data processing and interpolation (gridding) with a sprinkling of .

Docs: fatiando.org/verde

GitHub: github.com/fatiando/verde

Project status is "stable and ready for use". Latest version is v1.7.0. Also shows two maps of vertical ground velocity in California interpolated from GPS data with and without weights based on data uncertainty.

Tool number 2 - Pooch: Easily download datasets.

Pooch is the easiest way to download files to your computer. It is used to manage sample data downloads not only by our own tools but also other popular Scientific Python libraries: scikit-image, SciPy, MetPy, xarray, @shtools, satpy, icepack, histolab, yt, napari, and more.

Docs: fatiando.org/pooch

GitHub: github.com/fatiando/pooch

Project status is "stable and ready for use". Latest version is v1.6.0. Includes a code sample for downloading a dataset based on a figshare DOI. Running this code multiple times will only result in a single download because the data are cached where Pooch can find it.

Tool number 3 - Harmonica: All things potential fields.

Harmonica is our library for processing, forward modeling, and inversion of and data. Our goal is to incentivise good practices by carefully designing the software and offering state-of-the-art methods with efficient implementations.

Docs: fatiando.org/harmonica

GitHub: github.com/fatiando/harmonica

Project status is "Functional but still evolving". Latest version is v0.5.1. Includes a map of residual gravity disturbances of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, gridded to a uniform height with equivalent sources. The map shows distintive positive anomalies over the Eastern, Western, and Northern lobes of the complex.

Tool number 4 - Boule: Ellipsoids and normal gravity.

Boule defines reference ellipsoids for calculating normal of the Earth and other bodies (Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury).

Docs: fatiando.org/boule

GitHub: github.com/fatiando/boule

Project status is "Functional but still evolving". Latest version is v0.4.1. Includes a global map of normal gravity of the WGS84 ellipsoid calculated at the Earth's surface using an analytical expression (no free-air correction required). The large-scale trend of stronger gravity at the poles and weaker at the equator can be seen, as well as the weaker gravity on top of large mountain ranges.

Tool number 5 - Ensaio: Practice datasets to probe your code.

Ensaio makes it easy to download our sample datasets. It taps into the Fatiando a Terra FAIR data collection (github.com/fatiando-data) which is designed for use in tutorials, documentation, and .

Docs: fatiando.org/ensaio

GitHub: github.com/fatiando/ensaio

Project status is "Functional but still evolving". Latest version is v0.4.0. Includes a montage of a sub sample of the datasets available in Ensaio. From the top-left: gravity, geoid height, bathymetry, GPS velocity, global relief, and magnetic anomaly.

Ewaca

@fatiando I've seen a 3d prisms inversion many years before (with a something like harvester and seeder functions). Is there still this kind of inversion ?

Fatiando a Terra

@Ewaca we used to have that in our Python 2.7 package. It's been a slow road to getting all of that functionality into our new tools but we're almost there. The groundwork for implementing that particular is pretty much ready now (and much better than it used to be) so we're hoping to get that implemented in the near future.
