Interpreting 3D geological and geophysical data in a consistent manner is non-straightforward. The GeophysicalModelGenerator package provides a number of useful tools to combine and visualize datasets.
GeoDataPicker
is a web-based graphical user interface build on top of GMG, which allows creating interactive interpretations from such data.
The main features are:
- Import volumetric data (e.g., seismic tomography), surfaces (e.g., Moho depth), points (e.g., earthquake), topography or screenshots from published papers from remote or local locations.
- Switch easily between different datasets (e.g., different tomography models).
- Interactively add your interpretation to profiles through the datasets (e.g. top of the European or Appenninic slabs).
- Visualize your interpretations in 3D.

Now you can open the address 127.0.0.1:8050
in your favorite webbrowser (e.g., Safari), which should look something like:
Hit the green buton, and the data will be loaded. Next, you can switch to the Cross-sections tab and start interpreting profiles. After a while, this could look like:
And finally, you can look at the data in 3D:
