This is a list of free and open-source software for geological data handling and interpretation. The list is split into broad categories, depending on the intended use of the software and its scope of functionality. Notice that 'free and open-source' requires that the source code is available and users are given a free software license.
A Fraser filter, named after Douglas Fraser, is typically used in geophysics when displaying VLF data. It is effectively the first derivative of the data. If f ( i ) = f i {\displaystyle f(i)=f_{i}} represents the collected data then a v e r a g e 12 = f 1 + f 2 2 {\displaystyle average_{12}={\frac {f_{1}+f_{2}}{2}}} is the average of two values.
Pure and Applied Geophysics is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers research in the field of geophysics. It is published by Birkhäuser and the editors-in-chief are Carla F. Braitenberg ( University of Trieste ), Alexander B. Rabinovich ( Russian Academy of Sciences ), and Renata Dmowska ( Harvard University ).
Geomathematics (also: mathematical geosciences, mathematical geology, mathematical geophysics) is the application of mathematical methods to solve problems in geosciences, including geology and geophysics, and particularly geodynamics and seismology.
Induced polarization (IP) is a geophysical imaging technique used to identify the electrical chargeability of subsurface materials, such as ore. [1] [2]The polarization effect was originally discovered by Conrad Schlumberger when measuring the resistivity of rock.
"Geoprofessions" is a term coined by the Geoprofessional Business Association to connote various technical disciplines that involve engineering, earth and environmental services applied to below-ground ("subsurface"), ground-surface, and ground-surface-connected conditions, structures, or formations. The principal disciplines include, as major ...
Geophysics is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of research, exploration, and education in applied geophysics. It was established in 1936 and is published by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. The current editor-in-chief is Jeffrey Shragge (Colorado School of Mines).
Near-surface geophysics is the use of geophysical methods to investigate small-scale features in the shallow (tens of meters) subsurface. It is closely related to applied geophysics or exploration geophysics. Methods used include seismic refraction and reflection, gravity, magnetic, electric, and electromagnetic methods.
