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. (2015): System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) v. 2.1.4. Geosci. Model Dev., 8, 1991-2007, https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-8-1991-2015.

ALAMODE
Ab initio simulator for thermal transport and lattice anharmonicity
ALAMODE is designed for analyzing lattice anharmonicity and lattice thermal conductivity of solids. By using an external DFT package such as VASP and Quantum ESPRESSO, you can extract harmonic and anharmonic force constants straightforwardly with ALAMODE. Using the anharmonic force constants, you can also calculate lattice thermal conductivity from first principles. For more information about ALAMODE, please visit the following webpages: Documentation : http://alamode.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ git repository : https://github.com/ttadano/alamode -

Qgama
Adjustment of local surveying networks, binary builds for Windows
The archive has been moved to https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gama/windows/ GNU Gama is a project dedicated to adjustment of geodetic networks. It is intended for use with traditional geodetic surveying which are still used and needed in special measurements (e.g., underground or high precision engineering measurements) . Qgama is a Qt based user interface for GNU Gama adjustment of geodetic networks in which XML input is complemented with a database. The most simple case is Sqlite3 file database, which does not need any special knowledge from the user. http://www.gnu.org/software/gama/qgama Command line program gama-local is distributed with Qgama in folder bin. -

PlaTec
Plate Tectonics simulator
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 . -

jif3d
3D Joint Inversion Framework
jif3d is a framework for joint inversion of different types of geophysical data in 3D. It currently comprises forward solvers for first arrival traveltimes, scalar and tensor gravity data, magnetics, magnetotellurics, electrical resistivity tomography and surface waves.The framework is flexible in terms of the coupling approach between the different datasets. At the moment cross-gradient coupling, variation of information and deterministic parameter relationships are implemented. Other coupling approaches can be added relatively easily. -
