Open Source Java Earth Sciences Software

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 nofdp IDSS is an open source application for modeling flood control measures and 1D hydrodynamic flood simulation. Additional modules for ecological and spatial analysis, multicriteria evaluation and communication are included.

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 SeismoWeb Toolbox is a collection of Matlab and Java tools providing access to seismological webservices. The current focus lies on the NERIES earthquake data portal, but it is intended to add more webservices in the future.

This application talks to a GPS device over the NMEA protocol via the WIGSGPSComm API. The first version of the WIGS application will present the GPS data in an intuitive fashion, and later releases will be further enhanced with special map support.

JAlma is Java Astronomical Almanac.

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.

3d visualization of USGS Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Support for stereo visualization. Written in Java and Java3D

JavaSeis.org: Java based software for processing and storing petroleum industry seismic 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.

ESA Sentinel Toolbox for Earth Observation

WEST (Wind Energy Simulation Toolkit) is a wind simulation application. It can be use to obtain high resolution results at various altitudes.

jdwglib is a Java library for accesing DWG files. It is essentially a port from the Pythoncad DWG reading classes by Art Haas. jdwglib manages complex DWG objects allowing users to employ these objects directly in their applications.

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.
