Fort Hoofddijk Software

In the course of our research we have developed a number of software packages for the analysis of palaeomagnetic, rockmagnetic and palaeoclimatic data. The list will hopefully grow from it's humble beginnings of just two programs to include the wide variety of programs and data analysis techniques that we are currently working on at the Fort. Simply click a program icon to download a zipped version of the current software.
