Pro Geophysics

Pro Geophysics is for advanced yet easy-to-use geophysical interpretation. It provides a formal, commercial interface to existing standard codes such as UBC-GIF and VP Geophysics Suite (VPmg and VPem1D). UBC-GIF and VP programs are complementary, and the combination gives one the ultimate flexibility in inversion of potential fields, resistivity and induced polarization, and electromagnetic data. With UBC-GIF, you can run fast, reliable, physical property inversions whereas VP offers geological-model parameterization with direct inversion for 3D geological contact geometry in addition to conventional grid parameterization, offering better depth resolution. “How to” videos available on our YouTube channel.

Pro Geophysics provides a direct link to the geoapps open-source repository, offering numerous geophysical tools, including links to SimPEG codes. Substantial work is now being done by numerous researchers on open-source geophysical code projects such as SimPEG. Pro Geophysics users can visualize data and models through a standard interface, as well as receive technical support and training.

It is sold on a 1-year subscription basis through membership in the Geoscience ANALYST Geophysics Pro Consortium, including technical support and updates. Individual, corporate, academic, and non-profit licensing is available.

UBC-GIF programs

UBC-GIF programs  must be purchased separately.

  • Pro Geophysics prepares data, create meshes, constrains inversion with geological information, runs inversions, and visualizes results from UBC-GIF software

VP Geophysics programs

VPmg has many inversion styles that can be used independently or in concert to help the user recover the best model to describe the geophysical basement. VP models offer flexibility to support a wide variety of applications beyond simple unconstrained inversion (e.g., depth to basement modelling, terrain and cover correction, and overburden stripping). VPmg and VPem1D programs are included with a Pro Geophysics subscription.

  • 3D modelling and inversion for gravity, gravity gradient, TMI, and magnetic gradient data
  • Geologically-constrained and unconstrained inversion. Constraints include drillhole pierce points on contacts, downhole measurements of physical properties, and more
  • Create geological models by assigning each cell to a geological unit
  • Geometry of contacts, as well as density or susceptibility of geological units can be adjusted via inversion
  • Density or susceptibility can be homogeneous or heterogeneous in each geological unit
