Given GRASS great raster function, it is suprising that so few (none?) geophysics applications surfaced so far.

In August, 2008, talks were initiated regarding the creation of modules to address potential field methods.

So far, the iniative has produced some wikipages and tentative "software specs". The initial focus is on Gravity and Geomagnetism.

Potential Field Methods

The USGS has two reports on this subject. Open-File Report 97-725, Potential-Field Geophysical Software for the PC, version 2.2 and Open-File Report 95-77, A bibliography of some geophysical computer programs, databases, and maps from the U.S. Geological Survey, 1971-1994. Most of the software listed here is provided with source.

The Colorado School of Mines also has software libraries.

Reflection Seismic

GRASS has already support for 3D rasters. Reading 2D/3D seismic data might be achieved via integration with CWP/SU, which is licensed under a BSD-style license.
