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 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).

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 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.

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.

Generic data-assimilation toolbox written in java, with native (c and fortran) libraries for high performance computing. Provides tools to couple to your own model and a wide range of algorithms, ranging from parameter calibration to Kalman filters.

Welcome to the GeoGig project, exploring the use of distributed management of spatial data. GeoGig draws inspiration from Git, but adapts its core concepts to handle versioning of geospatial data. Users are able to import raw geospatial data (currently from Shapefiles, PostGIS or SpatiaLite) in to a repository where every change to the data is tracked. These changes can be viewed in a history, reverted to older versions, branched in to sandboxed areas, merged back in, and pushed to remote repositories.

Implementation of an OGC Web Map Service, primarily for serving images dynamically generated from NetCDF data files (although other file formats can also be handled). Also an AJAX web mapping interface based on OpenLayers.

Exows extends the capabilities of the OWS (OGC Web Services). It enables the multilingualism functionalities for OWS (INSPIRE compliant) and allows complex features schemas for WFS and WMS getFeatureInfo (GML). It was developed by BRGM in OneGeology and was continued by BRGM in EUROGEOSS.

SPIDR (Space Physics Interactive Data Resource) is a distributed database and application server network, built to select, visualize and model historical space weather data. SPIDR is a web-application and a grid of data mining web-services.

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

A free virtual petrographic microscope application which allows users to examine and explore minerals and rocks features. jVPM makes mineralogy to be easier to examine a thin section and to understand the characteristic properties for each mineral without a petrographic microscope, which is known to be very expensive. It is mainly addressed to students as a guide in individual or supervised laboratory work.

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.

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

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.

JPick is a java tool for picking first arrival times in multichannel seismic data. Data are read from industry-standard SEG-2 seismograph files. Intended for seismic refraction surveys.

Metaquokka is a highly configurable xml editor, currently available as Gridsphere portlet. Besides the default format, there is suppoert for ESysXML, a simulation description scheme for a geodynamics framework. Supports Generic Mapping Tools rudimentary.

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.

ESA Sentinel Toolbox for Earth Observation

The linkFlow computer software program enables the user to perform civil hydraulic design tasks in a manner similar to a calculator. Vegetated and reinforced channels of any section can be designed using allowable shear and variable n values. c 2010

netcdf-tools is a set of tools for creating netCDF files. It supports command line use on both Windows and Unix as well as use directly as a Java library. Written by CSIRO Australia and funded by the ANDS Australian Research Data Commons Project

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

GRad is a standalone solar radiation model, programmed in Java. It is capable of the calculation of potential (clear sky) and actual (real sky) irradiance and total irradiation for single and multiple geographical locations. Note that, while fully functional, this application is currently not developed any further.

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.
