About

REDA is a scientific Python library for reproducible geoelectrical data analysis. It aims to provide a unified interface for common and advanced data processing steps while bridging the gap between a multitude of geoelectrical measurement devices and inversion codes used across the geophysical community. It offers functionality to import, analyze, process, visualize, and export geoelectrical data with particular emphasis on time-lapse functionality and reproducibility. The latter is realized in the form of a logging system, which keeps track of each individual processing step applied to particular data set in a human-readable journal. REDA is platform compatible, tested and open-source under the permissive MIT license. Any contributions from the community are highly welcome.
