These software packages may help you processing data or with the interpretion of sediment core-based datasets.

PSICAT

PSICAT, CHRONOS’s Paleontological Stratigraphic Interval Construction and Analysis Tool, is a stand-alone Java based graphical editing tool for creating and viewing stratigraphic column diagrams from drill cores and outcrops. (PSICAT website)

Colour conversion software

Munsell colour/CIE/XYZ/RGB color conversion software. Free software for converting between different colour systems. Includes a visual representation of the Munsell colour system. (Munsell website)

SedLog

A shareware program for drawing graphic logs and log data manipulation. SedLog is a multi-platform software for creating graphic sediment logs. Is designed by geologists for geologists. It provides an intuitive graphical user interface, making it very easy for anyone to use with minimum effort. The graphic sediment logs generated by SedLog can be exported as PDF, SVG, or JPEG for use by other drawing applications or for publications. Log data can be imported and exported in CSV format.
