geost.accessors.data.LayeredData.get_layer_base

LayeredData.get_layer_base(column: str, values: str | List[str], min_thickness: float = 0, min_depth: float = 0, max_depth: float = None) → DataFrame

Find the depth at which a specified layer occurs last, starting at min_depth and looking downwards until the first layer of min_thickness is found of the specified layer.

Parameters:

• column (str) – Name of column that contains categorical data.

• values (str | List[str]) – Value or values of entries in the column that you want to find base of.

• min_thickness (float, optional) – Minimal thickness of the layer to be considered. The default is 0.

• min_depth (float, optional) – Minimal depth of the layer to be considered. The default is 0.

• max_depth (float, optional) – Maximal depth of the layer to be considered. The default is None.

Returns:

Borehole ids and top levels of selected layers in meters below the surface.

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Examples

Get the base depth of layers in data where the lithology in the “lith” column is sand (“Z”):

>>> data.get_layer_base("lith", "Z")
