This repository hosts the interactive book, Fundamentals of Solid Earth Science, which offers an introduction to a smorgasbord of introductory topics using the Python programming language. The content is specifically designed for people interested in geoscience education using some of the latest computational tools. This website is part of the software ecosystem called Analysis and Visualization toolkit for plaNetary Inferences (or AVNI), which provides free web-based and backend code access to tools, techniques, models and data related to global solid Earth geosciences.
These materials were originally created by Raj Moulik while teaching Fundamentals of Solid Earth Science (GEO203/CEE203), an undergraduate course at Princeton University.
More About AVNI
AVNI is a software ecosystem for analyzing and interpreting planetary models and data sets that were initially designed or the three-dimensional reference Earth model project REM3D. The codes are primarily written in Python with interfaces to legacy routines in C and Fortran. Some installation files as well as applets and API access require registration on the AVNI Homepage below.

Frequently Asked Questions: FAQ
A core team maintains the public repository and releases versions after benchmarking; if you do not see activity on Github, that does not mean improvements or bug fixes are not underway! We provide APIs that interface with heavy, legacy codes hosted on our servers so that AVNI installation remains light to serve various applications. Contact the AVNI team at avni@globalseismology.org with any questions or suggestions.
