Loop

Loop is an open source 3D probabilistic geological and geophysical modelling platform, initially developed by Geoscience Australia and the OneGeology consortium. The project receives funding from various Australian territory, State, and Federal Geological Surveys, alongside the Australian Research Council and the MinEx Collaborative Research Centre, supporting its ongoing development and application in subsurface analysis.

The platform benefits from the expertise of researchers like Jérémie Giraud, who leads Work Package 4, focusing on geophysical integration. His research interests include the integration of geological modelling and petrophysical information into geophysical inversion to estimate uncertainty. This involves working on the development of the inversion platform Tomofast and exploring the application of deep learning techniques to integrated modelling.

Another key contributor, as co-coordinator of Work Package 5, focuses on uncertainty quantification, propagation, and reduction within a multi-disciplinary integrated modelling framework. Their expertise spans multiple-point statistics, flow and transport modelling, hydro-geophysical data inversion, and Bayesian inversion. The project aims to consider uncertainty at every level, from data acquisition to prediction, through joint or hierarchical integration.
