pyGIMLi is software for modelling and inversion in geophysics. It provides a numerical framework for analysing, visualizing and interpreting geophysical measurements and for solving forward and inverse problems.

The software includes tools for structured and unstructured meshes, finite-element and finite-volume modelling, and a range of geophysical forward operators. Its inversion framework supports constrained, joint and fully coupled inversion with flexible regularization, making pyGIMLi suitable for research, teaching and reproducible geophysical workflows.

This is free and open source software.

• Analyze, visualize and invert geophysical data.
• Perform forward modelling on complex 2D and 3D geometries.
• Manage structured and unstructured meshes.
• Use finite-element and finite-volume numerical solvers.
• Perform constrained, joint and fully coupled inversions with flexible regularization.
