Invert4geom is a Python library for performing 3D geometric gravity inversions, where the aim is to recover the geometry of a density contrast.

Typical use cases include modeling the topography of the Moho, the sediment-basement contact, or bathymetry. These density contrasts are represented by a layer of vertical right-rectangular prisms. Since we use vertical prisms, they don't take the curvature of the Earth into account. For large-scale applications, such as continental studies, it would be better to use tesseroids instead of prisms.

See the overview for further description of this package and what it can be used for.
