Technical tools and workflows
The Department of Geophysics uses a variety of freely available software projects for research and teaching. On this page we provide some relevant information and links to the most important third-party projects. The various software packages offered by the Department of Geophysics can be found here.
Python
To learn the programming language, the information for beginners is listed below.
Environments and VirtualEnvironments are an important aspect. These are parallel approaches, but have the same goal of creating an isolated environment for Python. These environments are relevant when using Anaconda. Alternatively, you can find the documentation on Python virtual environments (venv) here.
JupyterLab
The JupyterLab application interface is part of the Jupyter project and can be used to create and edit notebooks.
Git
The open source tool Git is used for version management and helps to maintain a standard for data management. The GitLab server of the University of Bonn is available for the Geophysics working group.
The following resources are recommended for the first steps and familiarisation with the topic:
Git Large File Storage
Git-lfs is an open source Git extension for versioning large files.
Data management
Further information and tips on data management can be found here.
