+We attempt to simplify the access to open-source spatial data processing for geological modeling and for subsurface data (wells, seismic, etc.) with the development of **GemGIS, a Python-based open-source library**. 
 
 GemGIS wraps and extends the functionality of packages known to the geo-community such as [GeoPandas](https://geopandas.org/), [rasterio](https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#), [OWSLib](https://geopython.github.io/OWSLib/), [Shapely](https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html), [PyVista](https://docs.pyvista.org/), [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/), [NumPy](https://numpy.org/) and the geomodeling package [GemPy](https://docs.gempy.org/). 
 
-The aim of GemGIS, as indicated by the name, is to become a bridge between conventional geoinformation systems (GIS) such as ArcGIS and QGIS, and geomodeling tools such as GemPy, allowing simpler and more automated workflows from one environment to the other. This also includes making it simpler to visualize the results obtained from GemGIS and GemPy with PyVista or Blender.

Further, subsurface data processing workflows are implemented for integrated data analyses.
