pyCSAMT v2 is a full-lifecycle toolkit for controlled-source and natural-source electromagnetic (EM) geophysics — CSAMT, AMT, MT, and TDEM. One coherent, scikit-learn-inspired API takes a survey from raw field files through quality control, corrections, and inversion to interpreted, publication-ready results.

✨ Highlights

  • 📥 Data I/O & QC — EDI, Zonge AVG, Jones J, TDEM, and MARE2DEM files in one site model; frequency audits and noisy-station flagging.
  • 📡 IoT-enabled field acquisition — station telemetry with edge QC (powerline harmonics, SNR, contact resistance, frequency coverage), clock-synchronisation audit, power monitoring, pluggable transports (file/HTTP built in; MQTT/serial/WebSocket optional), acquisition provenance, a field-network simulator, and dashboards — feeding directly into the processing pipeline.
  • 🎚️ Processing & corrections — a catalogue of 25 methods in six categories: notch filtering, static-shift removal, tensor rotation, phase-tensor analysis, and more.
  • 🧱 Forward modelling — synthetic layered-earth and 2-D models, forward responses, realistic noise, and datasets for survey design or training.
  • 🧠 Inversion, classical & AI — Occam2D, ModEM, and MARE2DEM end to end, plus physics-informed neural networks (PINN 1-D/2-D/3-D) and hybrid deep-learning inverters.
  • 🗺️ Interpretation & mapping — resistivity classification, pseudostratigraphic logs, station maps, pseudosections, and 3-D quick looks.
  • 🤖 Pipelines, agents & apps — reproducible YAML/JSON/Python workflows, LLM-driven agents (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini), a web dashboard, and a desktop GUI.

🚀 Installation

pip install pycsamt           # core, minimal dependencies
pip install "pycsamt[full]"   # + ML backends, apps, geospatial, docs

Requires Python 3.9+.

Optional extras & source install
Extra Installs
torch PyTorch backend for PINN / hybrid inverters
tensorflow TensorFlow / Keras backend
geo pyproj, xarray, contextily for maps and reprojection

full All of the above (prefers the PyTorch backend)

Track the active development branch:

git clone https://github.com/earthai-tech/pycsamt.git
cd pycsamt && git checkout v2
pip install -e ".[full]"

⚡ Quick start

Chain named processing steps into a repeatable pipeline — the result carries per-step outputs, a log, and an exportable manifest:

from pycsamt.pipeline import Pipeline, Step

pipe = Pipeline([
    ("notch",        Step("NR001", mains_hz=50)),
    ("band",         Step("FREQ001")),
    ("static_shift", Step("SS001")),
    ("rotate",       Step("TZ001")),
])
result = pipe.run(sites, outdir="outputs/run01/")
print(result.summary())

Or hand the whole job to an AI agent in plain language:

from pycsamt.agents import AgentMaster

master = AgentMaster(provider="anthropic")
report = master.run(
    "Load data/edi/, flag stations with RMS > 2, build an Occam2D input "
    "for profile L22, launch inversion, and produce a PDF report."
)
More examples — inversion results, PINN, IoT, CLI

Load a MARE2DEM run directory and plot responses or the resistivity section:

from pycsamt.models.mare2dem import InversionResult, PlotResponse, PlotModel

result = InversionResult("runs/demo_mt/")
PlotResponse(result).plot(max_rx=6, savefig="response.pdf")
PlotModel(result).plot(cmap="turbo_r", savefig="section.pdf")

Physics-informed inversion from site data and a forward operator:

from pycsamt.ai.inversion import PINN2D

inv = PINN2D(n_layers=64, epochs=3000, backend="torch")
model = inv.fit(sites, frequencies=freqs)
model.plot_section()

Ingest IoT field telemetry, quality-control it at the edge, and hand it straight to processing — with a reproducible provenance manifest:

from pycsamt.iot import FieldSession, simulate_iot_network, plot_field_dashboard

# real edge telemetry, or a simulated network for demos/tests
packets = simulate_iot_network(n_stations=24, profiles=["L1", "L3"])
session = FieldSession("SSL2026")
session.add_packets(packets)

session.assess()                                 # stream QC -> MonitoringStatus
session.to_pipeline_input()                      # hand-off for processing
session.export_manifest("field_manifest.json")   # reproducible provenance
plot_field_dashboard(session, output_path="dashboard.png")

The full workflow is also scriptable from the terminal:

pycsamt survey set data/edi/
pycsamt invert build data/edi/ --solver occam2d --workdir runs/occam2d/
pycsamt pipe run --config pipeline.yaml --survey data/edi/ --out outputs/run01/

🖥️ Interfaces

Python API CLI Web dashboard Desktop GUI
import pycsamt pycsamt --help pycsamt-web pycsamt-desktop

The same engine drives all four — script it, automate it, or point and click.
