For Seismologists who are Linux users



This site has been created for people who want to sample earth-science related software packages for Linux operating system. The software is precompiled into executable binaries using an i486 platform running Linux kernel version 1.2 and 2.0ELF kernels, X11R6 XFree86 3.1.2, and GCC version 2.7.0. [Try the command uname -a to see you system stats] Just ungzip, untar, and you should be ready to go. I do not take responsibility for the software packages but will help in directing questions or setting up the executables. The source code has been left out of some tar archives inorder to save space.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's SEISMIC ANALYSIS CODE Availability See thier web site for the online Sac Manual

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's MAP version 3.3e Availability

SunOs to LinuxOs or LinuxOs to SunOs for SAC binary data files. I developed this byteswapping routine to convert sac files between different platforms.

IRIS Passcal programs. version 1.9. You can get source code at IRIS sites. Also see IRIS Passcal on Linux Lap Tops. This will revolutionize the way we do portable seismic instrument deployments.

F. W. Klien's Hypoinverse (1989 version?). HypoInverse is an upgraded version from hypo77, which locates earthquakes. TTGEN is also included to create smooth velocity models.

FPFIT FPPLOT and FPPAGE programs developed by D. Openheimer and others. The binary exe and src code are included. FPFIT fits focal mechanisms to first motion P-wave data from located earthquakes using HypoInverse.

IASPEI 1991 Model. Source and executables The files in this anonymous FTP implement the travel time computation algorithm described by Buland and Chapman (1983) in "The Computation of Seismic Travel Times", BSSA, v. 73, pp. 1271-1302, for the IASPEI phase set derived from the IASPEI travel-time model developed by Brian Kennett. The IASPEI model was developed specifically as a replacement for the Jeffreys-Bullen model for earthquake location work.

Robert Herrman's Programs in Seismology binaries and source code for analysis in surface waves and synthetic seismograms.

Xmap8 a 3D GIS program. Copyright (c) 1994, J. M. Lees Yale University. The Xmap8 version 2.0 was complied on 1/12/98, and the Gzipped Tar file contains binnaries and source code with demos You can also get a SunOS version by (ftp: milne.geology.yale.edu/pub/Xmap8).


Seismic Unix version 2.8 from Center Wave Phenomina binary, source code, and documentation included. See the CWP web site. Also see distributed seismic unix www site on how SU is being used on multiple virtual machines and parrallel processing.


PGPLOT ELF binaries version 5.0.2 and PGPLOT binaries w/out ELF support
. Pgplot is a library of fortran77 subroutines that allow you to include graphics support. The PGPLOT home page is at http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot

Plplot is a C version of subroutines that allow you to include graphics support. The source code is at http://dino.ph.utexas.edu.

General Mapping Tools (GMT) version 3.0 The source code is from the University of Hawaii and developed by Paul Wessel and Walter H. F. Smith. Online manual is at http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gmt/gmt_man.html.

netCDF library
Unidata netCDF Version 2.4 February 1996 The Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF) is an interface for scientific data access and a freely-distributed software library that provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. The current netCDF software provides common C and FORTRAN interfaces for applications and data. It has been tested on various common platforms, including versions of UNIX, MSDOS, OS/2, and VMS.

SImple Polygon Processor (c) Equivalent Software HB 1992. A 3D Rendering and Animation Using SIPP3.1 by Jonas Yngvesson (jonas-y@isy.liu.se) and Inge Wallin (ingwa@isy.liu.se) Linkoping Institute of Technology, Sweeden. This tar file contains C library and docs for creating 3-dimensional scenes and rendering them using a scan-line z-buffer algorithm. A scene is built up of objects which can be transformed with rotation, translation and scaling. The objects form hierarchies where each object can have arbitrarily many subobjects and subsurfaces. A surface is a number of connected polygons which are rendered with either Phong, Gouraud or flat shading. An image can also be rendered as a line drawing of the polygon edges without any shading at all. See my page for examples.

XFIG is a object oriented (IslandDraw lookalike) drawing editor for editing your figures before publication. [will import/export postcript, xfig, jpeg, gif etc....]
