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!

A tool for decoding and presenting Geotechnical Sounding data (such as CPTu). Formats supported are the SGF standard as defined by the Swedish Geotechnical Society (www.sgf.net), and used by a number of commercial products, aswell as Generic text

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 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.

Idea of the project is to create a tool, the Connector, to access the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software SimaPro via the COM interface.

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.

XNavigator is the online viewer for the OpenStreetMap Globe at http://osm-3d.org and much more. It is an interactive 3D viewer and integrated client for exploring virtual city and landscape models. A wide range of interaction and navigation possibilities makes it easy to visualize and analyze very detailed virtual urban environments. XNavigator is the first application that supports the Web3DService (W3DS) service interface.

panFMP is a generic framework suitable for harvested XML metadata that is searchable through Apache Lucene without any additional RDBMS. Fields can be defined by XPath allowing for full text queries on all types of fields including numerical ranges. The code was moved to Github: https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/panfmp

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

A command line java tool that allows creating images of earthquake occurrences plotted on a map over time. These images can then be used to create a video / animation (with a seperate tool like mencoder)

GISpatialNet is a Java-based tool for mapping network data (nodes and edges between them) to spatial coordinates; reformatting network and spatial data together; and calculating spatial network measures. Install by saving to c:\ drive and typing the following in a command line: java -jar c:\GISpatialNet-0.9b.jar

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.

The NJ toolbox (njTBX) is a matlab object API, built on top of Unidata's Netcdf-Java API to facilitate netCDF model data manipulation. Development of njTBX is a part of 'An Open-Source Community Model for Coastal Sediment Transport' project.

The main objective of the SmartHMA project is to develop and validate an open source operational platform architecture which implements a set of HMA standards in native Android client for access to EO Ground Segment data and services. The aim of the project is the development of a mobile application for discovery and distribution of EO data in the acceptable by tablet devices form and entirely based on OGC and HMA specifications. Implementation focuses on accessing the ESA Fedeo environment SmartHMA in form of open source software allows complementing the ESA RSS system environment and ESA Fedeo platform (http://wiki.services.eoportal.org/tiki-index.php?page=FEDEO). Please visit wiki pages for more information: http://wiki.services.eoportal.org/tiki-index.php?page=SmartHMA or http://wasat.github.io/smarthma SmartHMA User Manual https://sourceforge.net/projects/smarthma/files/SmartHMA_user_manual.pdf Youtube Manual https://goo.gl/bvP5yz

This software is a time-aware geostatistical tool. Including time variability adds further issues to the already complicated field of geostatistical interpolation. On the other hand, most of the distributions of variables used in Earth and environmental sciences show patterns of change over time, not only in space. This tool is a free, open-source software, based on a generalization of the Inverse Distance Weighted algorithm. It outputs three-dimensional, layered discrete models from which time series and equal-time GIS Grid layers can be extracted.

WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more info about our planet.

A free Java Ternary plot which is the way to classify igneous or/and sedimentary rocks. The ternary diagrams are used to represent the relative percentages of any three component system as A, B, and C.

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.
