Simulation and Parameter Estimation in Geoscience - A python package for simulation and gradient based parameter estimation in the context of geophysical applications.

The vision is to create a package for finite volume simulation with applications to geophysical imaging and subsurface flow. To enable the understanding of the many different components, this package has the following features:

• modular with respect to the spacial discretization, optimization routine, and geophysical problem
• built with the inverse problem in mind
• provides a framework for geophysical and hydrogeologic problems
• supports 1D, 2D and 3D problems
• designed for large-scale inversions
