SAGA - System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses - is a Geographic Information System (GIS) software with immense capabilities for geodata processing and analysis. SAGA is programmed in the object oriented C++ language and supports the implementation of new functions with a very effective Application Programming Interface (API). Functions are organised as modules in framework independent Module Libraries and can be accessed via SAGA’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) or various scripting environments (shell scripts, Python, R, ...). Please provide the following reference in your work if you are using SAGA: Conrad, O., Bechtel, B., Bock, M., Dietrich, H., Fischer, E., Gerlitz, L., Wehberg, J., Wichmann, V., and Boehner, J.

MF-OWHM | MODFLOW OWHM
Simulation, analysis, and management of the movement of water
This page is kept for those that want to use the legacy v1 version. For current download, source, and information please go to: https://code.usgs.gov/modflow/mf-owhm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The One-Water Hydrologic Flow Model (MODFLOW-OWHM, One-Water) is an integrated hydrologic flow (IHM) model that is an enhanced fusion of multiple MODFLOW (MF) versions. While maintaining compatibility with existing MF versions, MF-OWHM includes: linkages for coupled heads, flows, and deformation; facilitation of self-updating models, additional observation and parameter options for higher-order calibrations; and redesigned code for faster simulations. MF-OWHM represents a complete IHM that fully links the movement and use of groundwater, surface water, and imported water for consumption by agriculture and natural vegetation on the landscape, and for potable and other uses. -

metaf2xml
Parse and decode METAR, TAF, SYNOP, BUOY, AMDAR and write data as XML
metaf2xml can download, parse and decode aviation routine weather reports (METAR, SPECI, SAO), aerodrome forecasts (TAF), synoptic observations (SYNOP), observations from buoys (BUOY) and meteorological reports from aircrafts (AMDAR). Data can also be taken from decoded BUFR messages. The extracted data can be written as XML or passed to a user-defined function (all done in Perl). It also provides XSLT style sheets to convert the XML to plain language (text, HTML), or XML with different schemas. A web-based (CGI) user interface can be used to download and display up-to-date weather data from NOAA, Ogimet, and other sources. -

Euler Pole Calculator (EPC)
A Matlab software to estimate Euler pole parameters
The EPC software calculates velocities for any points located on the earth’s surface given the Euler pole parameters and estimates the Euler pole parameters given the observed velocities of a set of sites located on a tectonic plate. Since version 2, the software is able to estimate or apply the Plate Translation Rates, as well. Please cite one of the following papers when you use the software: - Goudarzi, M A, Cocard, M, and Santerre, R. 2014."EPC: Matlab Software to Estimate Euler Pole Parameters". GPS Solutions 18 (1): 153–62. DOI: 10.1007/s10291-013-0354-4*. - Goudarzi, M A. 2025."Evaluating Euler Pole Parameters for the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022". Geodesy and Geodynamics. DOI: 10.1016/j.geog.2025.03.004. * The element G_23 of the Jacobian matrix of linearized observations in formula 18 (page 4) in this paper has an incorrect sign (minus sign should be removed). This is discussed in: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10291-025-01932-7. -

GrainSizeTools script
A Python script for estimating the grain size from thin sections
Homepage & docs: http://marcoalopez.github.io/GrainSizeTools/ GrainSizeTools is a free, open-source, cross-platform script written in Python that provides several tools for (1) estimating average grain size in polycrystalline materials, (2) characterizing the nature of the distribution of grain sizes (either from apparent distributions or approximating 3D grain size distributions via stereology), and estimating differential stress via paleopizometers. The script requires as the input the areas of the grain profiles measured grain-by-grain on planar sections and does not require previous experience with Python programming language (see documentation below and FAQ). For users with coding skills, the script is organized in a modular way facilitating the reuse and code extension. Lopez-Sanchez, MA (2018).

proex gpr control
Mala ProEx and Easy Locator GPR control software
Reverse engineered communication protocol for the Mala ProEx and Easy Locator GPR implemented as a CLI & GUI running on unix systems. The communication protocol was ported to a graphical user interface applicable to embedded systems through the use of the Qt toolkit (tested on Armadeus Systems APF27 board). The GUI includes GPS datalogging capability assuming a receiver providing NMEA sentences at 4800 bauds is connected to the host computer. Because the software requires access to the raw socket communication, it must be run with administration (root) privileges. A dedicated mode for sensor reading through the wireless GPR link is implemented through 2 separate time-windows, one for subsurface structure analysis and the other for sensor signal recording. The wiki describes the cause of long term drift and hardware modification of the ProEx timing board to try to solve the issue. This software is a contribution to COST action TU1208 Civil Engineering Application of GPR. -
