GEOPHYSICS source-code archive
Follow this link to a collection of source codes that accompany articles in the journal GEOPHYSICS.
Follow this link to a collection of public datasets of exploration-geophysical interest available for free download. The same datasets are also available from the SEG website, their original home, but that way of downloading them is less preferred now. Note, the datasets have legal disclaimers and requirements attached. Before downloading datasets, first download their associated README files and agree with the restrictions you find there.
