Fatiando a Terra (Portuguese for Slicing the Earth) is an open-source Python toolkit for geophysical modeling and inversion.

Fatiando provides:

• A way to integrate geophysical modeling: functions operate on a common data and model format so that different methods can be interchanged and linked together
• Easily prototyping inversion methods using the fatiando.inversion package of inverse problem solvers
• A range of toy problems to help teach modeling and inverse problem concepts
• Easy plotting with matplotlib and 3D plotting with Mayavi
• Fast routines, courtesy of Numpy and Cython
• A free (as in beer) and open-source alternative to commercial software
