Unified Geodynamics Earth Science Computing Environment

The curremt package contains

• SEATREE, our graphical user interface, research and teaching environment that itself provides simple interfaces to
  • HC, our global, spherical mantle flow solver;
  • Larry2d and Larry3d, surface wave phase velocity and global body wave tomography software, respectively;
  • ConMan, a finite element thermal convection solver;
• fstrack, our seismic anisotropy and tensor analysis package;
• GPlates 1.4;
• the iGMT graphical user interface to GMT, and GMT;
• our shansyn spherical harmonic analysis/synthesis with GMT package as used by our tomography model format (also see shansyn on GitHub);
• and a range of other Earth science software and datasets (see below).
