AVNI Course: Fundamentals of Solid Earth Science

Introduction to a smorgasbord of topics in the geosciences using the Python programming language. 

This website 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.
