Session abstract

ESSI2.7 - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and Geosciences

Conveners: Peter Löwe, Jens Klump, Alessandro Frigeri and Margherita Di Leo

This session focuses on the growing role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) with a special emphasis on the interoperability among existing and future FOSS-tools within Geoinformatics. The session will be a forum for both the latest advances in FOSS-empowered research and also successful applications of existing FOSS tools for geoscientific tasks.
