The World Data Center for Paleoclimatology in Boulder distributes several
software packages for use on an As-Is basis: we cannot provide any support
nor can we guarantee the software's performance. We encourage authors of any
software of interest to the paleoclimatic community to contribute their
software for distribution on this page. Please
contact us for more information.

AnalySeries
MacIntosh time series analysis tool by Didier Paillard, LSCE.
The latest version of AnalySeries is compatable with Mac OSX and is available at the
LSCE website. The software is posted as a stuffit archive (.zip) file. The file can be downloaded,
then opened with Stuffit Expander (a free utility available at http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/).
For further information please contact Didier Paillard (didier.paillard@lsce.ipsl.fr).
Previous versions (v.1.*) formerly distributed here by WDC Paleo are not compatible
with current Mac operating systems.

Arand MacIntosh time series and spectral
analysis software package written by Philip Howell at Brown University. The
software allows the user to assign time to depth from an age model, interpolate
data at an even time step, perfrom spectral and cross-spectral analysis, and
filter data. The program is stored as a self extracting archive (.sea) created
with Stuffit.

C2
Those interested in software for developing transfer functions or plotting stratigraphic
diagrams may want to look at a new Windows program, C2, written by Steve Juggins at
Newcastle University. C2 is free to download and use but the data analysis and graphics
functions are restricted to a maximum number of 75 samples. A license file that removes
this restriction must be purchased to use C2 with larger datasets.

HIBAL
Hydrologic Isotopic Balance Model for Paleolake Systems. Benson and Paillet (2002)
FORTRAN code for a simple hydrologic-isotopic-balance model for application to paleolake
d18O records. Inputs to the model include discharge, on-lake precipitation,
evaporation, and the d18O values of these fluid fluxes.

MapPad (for Microsoft Windows) is a program
with which you save your site and associated text information to a simple text
file, and then display it by clicking points on a map. Continental and regional
maps are provided.

PaleoVu
(Version 1.0 for Macintosh and Windows 3.1) is a complete browse and
visualization tool for all types of paleoclimate and paleoecological data.
Point and click to create queries, list site information, display or plot
variables and data, or export the data for further processing and analysis.
Note:
PaleoVu is no longer maintained or supported. Data content is not being updated,
and compatibility problems may exist with newer operating systems. PaleoVu is
still suitable as a teaching tool, but our internet-based browsing tools are
the most up to date source for paleoclimatic data.

PalyHelp
A suite of six programs from L.J.
Maher, Jr. at the University of Wisconsin. Includes programs for solving
Mosimann's equations for confidence limits, and programs for solving and
testing pollen concentration data. These programs run on Microsoft Windows,
but the (Basic) source code is also available.

RedFit
RedFit software estimates red-noise spectra directly from unevenly spaced time series,
without requiring interpolation.

ShowTime
(Version 0.6 for Microsoft Windows, data file updated 6 April 1998) is an
animation that displays the distribution through space and time of individual
pollen taxa. Currently, data are available only for North America for the
past 15ka B.P. (Click the icon to download. The size of the self-extracting
executable file is approximately 1.7 Mbytes.)

|
SiteSeer
(Version 1.1 for Microsoft Windows) for browsing the contents of a pollen
database, displaying summary information and summary pollen diagrams.
