Open Source C++ Earth Sciences Software

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.

ToxTrac is a free Windows program optimized for tracking animals. It uses an advanced tracking algorithm and includes Preprocessing, Background subtraction, Advanced collision and occlusion management, Post-processing, and Filters. It is robust; very fast; and can handle one or several animals in one or several environments. The program provides useful statistics as output. ToxTrac can be used for fish, insects, rodents, etc. If used, please cite: Rodriguez, A., Molares-Ulloa, A., Andersson, M., and Brodin, T. (2026). ToxTrac 2026 (1.4).

S-GeMS is a software for 3D geostatistical modeling. It implements many of the classical geostatistics algorithms, as well as new developments made at Stanford University. See http://sgems.sourceforge.net

An nopensource runoff, erosion and flood model openLISEM. There are two branches: - the classic openLISEM that you can find here: https://github.com/vjetten/openlisem/, please contact Victor Jetten (v.g.jetten@utwente.nl) for details. - the multihazard version of LISEM on this page, for details contact Bastian van den Bout (b.vandenbout@utwente.nl). This software is made available under the licence GPL v3.

The netCDF Operators, or NCO, are a suite of file operators which facilitate manipulation and analysis of self-describing data stored in the (freely available) netCDF and HDF formats. Volunteers welcome! See homepage for details and download links.

GPlates is a plate-tectonics program. Manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleo-geographic features through geological time. Interactively visualize vector, raster and volume data. PyGPlates is the GPlates Python library. Get fine-grained access to GPlates functionality in your Python scripts.

The Solar Model is real time modeling of solar system. It allows user to navigate in space, to control time counting (speed-up time flow) and estimate movement of space bodies, bind camera to space objects (for example, from Moon on Earth in real time).

CPSeis is the open-source version of ConocoPhillips' former seismic processing system. Uses Fortran 90 and C/C++ layers for I/O. The new system was designed using an MPI-parallel model and works well on Linux clusters or on individual workstations.

Clip is an interactive program for simulation, indexing and refinement of Laue diffraction images.

EXTREMA is an interactive program with publication quality graphics and mathematical analysis capabilities. EXTREMA can be GUI and/or command driven. The command language includes conditional branching, looping and subroutine calling constructs.

The latest ESMF development is happening in GitHub: https://github.com/esmf-org/esmf https://earthsystemmodeling.org The Earth System Modeling Framework provides high-performance software infrastructure and superstructure for the construction and coupling of climate, weather, and data assimilation applications.

To use precompiled wheels: 1) go to releases (Files) and download tarball needed; 2) install it with command: python3 -m pip install /path/to/wheel.whl Or simply use URL in pip: python3 -m pip install https://sourceforge.net/projects/gdal-wheels-for-linux/files/GDAL-3.1.4-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_5_x86_64.manylinux1_x86_64.whl/download URL may be found under "View details" button (i) To use GDAL in C/C++ project you need to link gdal lib AND all libs located at dir GDAL.libs (usually this folder resides inside python site-packages) To compile your own wheels see information given at forefather project: https://github.com/youngpm/gdalmanylinux Usually this is done via command `make wheels` GDAL wheels for Windows are provided by Christoph Gohlke at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal Built with PROJ (proj.db is included), GEOS, EXPAT. See Dockerfile.wheels for additional components.

PlaTec is a 2D terrain generator that uses a simplified model of plate tectonics to produce realistic heightmaps in real time. The simulator starts with a flat fractal map and splits it randomly into plates. Plates are moved around the map. If continents of two plates collide, they fold creating mountain belts. If oceanic crust of one plate collides with another plate, subduction occurs resulting in coastal mountain ranges or island chains. This project is part of my Bachelor of Engineering thesis in Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Helsinki, Finland. The thesis is freely downloadable from http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:amk-201204023993 . A Youtube video showing the simulator in action is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi4b45tMEPE .
