The following software packages are not endorsed by Mining Geology HQ but are free open-source software. High-quality work can be performed on these software packages which makes them ideal for the geologist on a shoe string-budget. After all, software is just a tool to convey your understanding, experience, and knowledge. The key is quality data, well-tested hypotheses, and sound interpretations.
Geoscience ANALYST - Developed by Mira Geoscience, this 3D visualization and communication software is for integrated, multi-disciplinary Earth models and data. Check out the video here.
QGIS - Open-source GIS software.
ParaViewGeo - Open-source visualization package created specifically for the exploration and mining industry.
DXF2XYZ - Software to convert a DXF file to an XYZ file, (i.e., a comma delimited text file containing just xyz coordinates). It is useful for extracting the raw XYZ coordinates from a DXF file containing contours or other elevation entities.
3D Viewer - Simple viewer for various 3D shape files (dxf, dwg, tin, 3ds).
GCDkit - Geochemical data toolkit for handling and re-calculating whole-rock analyses from igneous rocks. It is written in R, a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
Structural Geology programs - Below are hyperlinks to a variety of structural geology related software which integrate nicely with Google Earth. They are provided by Dr. Rick Allmendinger (Professor at Cornell): Stereonet 9, Faultkin 7, GeoMapDataExtractor, MohrPlotter, FaultForward v6, AreaErrorProp, plus additional utility software available from his website.
