**Invert4geom** is a Python library for performing 3D geometric gravity inversions, where the aim is to recover the geometry of a density contrast.

Typically use cases include modeling the Moho, the sediment-basement contact, or bathymetry. These density contrasts are represented by a layer of vertical right-rectangular prisms.
Typical use cases include modeling the topography of the Moho, the sediment-basement contact, or bathymetry. These density contrasts are represented by a layer of vertical right-rectangular prisms. Since we use vertical prisms, they don't take the curvature of the Earth into account. For large-scale applications, such as continental studies, it would be better to use tesseroids instead of prisms.

See the [overview](overview.md) for further description of this package and what it can be used for.
