gadopt 3.1.0

A computational platform for inverse geodynamics

G-ADOPT

This repository contains material and examples relating to the G-ADOPT Platform, a computational platform for inverse geodynamics, being developed and maintained by researchers from the Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University. It builds on a recent surge in accessible observational datasets and advances in inversion methods using sophisticated adjoint techniques that provide a mechanism for fusing these observations with dynamics, physics and chemistry.

G-ADOPT is supported and funded by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), with additional partner contributions from AuScope, the NCI and Geosciences Australia.

Installation

G-ADOPT is available on PyPI as gadopt, and requires a working Firedrake installation. To bring in the optional nonlinear optimisation dependencies, install the gadopt[optimisation] variant. See the G-ADOPT website for more detailed installation instructions, including directions for getting started with the demo notebooks.
