Hello Leonardo
Thanks for your contrinution in this filed. Now, I am using your paper-moho-inversion code. 
When we invert the Moho from real data, like your code south-america-moho.ipynb, it will search the reference level and density.  However, the search results are not so perfect, for example, I attached one figure that shows the density contrast is 450 kg/m3, but in fact, it could be 350-450. The density contrast is critical for the final Moho depth. If the code chooses the 450 kg/m3, it will cause the final Moho depth quite shallow. 
Is it possible to change/correct the reference density chosen by the recent code and then do the inversion?
Look forward to receiving your reply.

Thanks and best regards,
Yangfan

Hi Yangfan,

You can always set the value manually.
Either by deleting/commenting out the grid search entirely or by setting the desired value in the right variable after the grid search is done.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Leo
