Open Source Java Earth Sciences Software

Kalypso is an open source application for geospatial modelling and simulation. It is primarily developed to be a user friendly tool for GIS-based modelling and simulation of hydrological and hydraulic numerical models.

Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological niches. NicheA can display ecological niches; calculate their shape, density, location, and other attributes; and quantify similarity among multiple niches.

The Koppen Climate Classifier is an open source software written in Java that classifies regional climate based on Koppen Climate Classification System. It classifies climate based on three types of inputs: temperature, precipitation and hemisphere. The Koppen Climate Classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems. It was first published by a Russian German climatologist, Wladimir Koppen. This system is based on the concept that native vegetation is the best expression of climate.

Raman Data Search and Storage (RDSS) software was developed as an analytical tool for a fast and accurate identification of unknown minerals by comparison of their spectra with the indexed library of data. A search function was implemented to enable users to find a specific peak value. Using the asterisk character (*) as a placeholder for one or more unknown peak value(s), the software will return the best match(es). Besides the search utility by the Raman band positions, which was proven to be priceless in the interpretation of Raman spectra, the RDSS software gives the user the ability to display and inspect the Raman spectra quickly and very efficiently. Users can zoom into the Raman spectrum, shift in any direction the wavenumber and the intensity axes, and if any part of the spectral display is clicked, that region will be highlighted and the specific wavenumber returned. A photo for every sample entry stored in the database is also available.

The Open Modeling Interface and Environment (OpenMI) defines a standardized way to exchange data between computational models that run simultaneously. OpenMI aims to enhance process interaction representation in integrated environmental modelling.

Computes the true vertical depth, horizontal deviation at the end of build, total measured depth and the various angles and radius given the kick-off point, build-up rate and other required data

The MWDB2 project is a combination of cartographic data, associated programs and Java code. Data includes coastlines, islands, lakes rivers, country and state/province boundaries. Data & code can be used on both Intel and non-Intel based computers.

he JAVA library is designed to read JPL DE/LE ephemerides (DE200, DE405, DE406, DE421, DE422, DE430, DE431, DE440 and DE441) and to calculated the position and velocity of the Sun, Moon, eight major planets and Pluto, also the earth nutations and the lunar librations if they are part of the ephemeris.

JAVA project represents the realization of modern astronomical algorithms related to the orbital movement of planets, satellites and small bodies in the solar system by solving Kepler's equation and additional astronomical and mathematical libraries

ESA Sentinel Toolbox for Earth Observation

User friendly LA-ICPMS data reduction software that supports solid phase and fluid inclusion work

Crawl a set of files, accumulating information on the temporal and spatial extent of the data in each file, for later search and retrieval.

APEX Tools is a collection of utilities used in conjunction with the processing of airborne hyperspectral data developed for the ESA-Prodex supported Airborne Prism EXperiment (APEX).

Java-based general aviation flight planning software

AndroidCam is an Android App which provides the ability to turn a mobile device into an intervalometer for collecting time-lapse images. Image capture can be triggered using time based scheduling or in response to data thresholds monitored by the app (e.g. temperature, location, windspeed, etc) Data collection is performed via IOIO connection and the new ADK. Remote synchronization upload of images can be scheduled and performed via SCP.

Atarrabi is a web-based workflow application used for preparing meteorological research data for persistent identifier registration. This software will not run out-of-the-box. Please visit our web site and contact us to learn more.

Autoplot is an interactive browser for data on the web. Give Autoplot a URL or local file name and it creates a sensible plot of the data. Autoplot allows you to interactively browse data stored in ascii, .cdf, netcdf, and many other formats. Autoplot's source has been moved to GitHub. Thanks to SourceForge for many years of hosting!

BioGeoTools is a Java based package that is aimed at providing a program and libraries for biogeorgaphy analyses.

CONMAP is a console program to aid in geobody connection analysis in geosciences. It accepts input and outpts results in GEO-EAS (GSLIB) format for easy interoperability with most geoscience softwares. To get help in usage, simply run the program without arguments. CONMAP is a Java 1.7 program. Open a command prompt, go to the directory where you download CONMAP.jar and enter the command "java -jar CONMAP.jar <arguments>" (without quotation marks) to run the program. Geobody detection itself runs pretty fast, with almost all execution time spent in file loading, parsing and saving. New features in version 2.0: geobody walk, vertical transitions count and mean thickness. See details running CONMAP without arguments.

Customizable Observation Video imagE Record. COVER software has been designed and developed by Ifremer / LEP in complement of existing software for underwater vehicle videos/photos analysis.

The Wildfire Management Tool (WMT) predicts the potential fire behavior of a wildland fire. WMT incorporates a 3D terrain viewer, the tenets of the Campbell Prediction System (CPS) and the Rothermel fire spread equations to depict fire behavior. WMT is used to adjust tactics & strategies to ensure the safety of firefighters and the effective use of firefighting resources. Requires Java 8 (included) - http://www.java.com/download

CRAFTY is a large-scale ABM of land use change. It has been designed to allow efficient but powerful simulation of a wide range of land uses and the goods and services they produce. It is fully open-source and can be used without the need for any programming.

It is a Client Application developed in Java that sends simultaneous OGC CSW requests to several metadata catalogues (ebRim or ISO 19115/19119 profile), processes the responses and shows them in a single web page.
