Golden Software’s Surfer package, long known as the geoscience profession’s most powerful 3D surface mapping software, now provides robust subsurface visualization and modeling functionality. In the latest Surfer release – available today – Golden Software has incorporated many true 3D gridding and visualization tools.

The new functionality literally adds a new dimension to Surfer’s gridding, mapping, and visualization capabilities. Users can now model a fourth “C” variable, such as contaminant or chemical concentration, along with the traditional X, Y, Z values.

“Surfer users can visualize their 3D data sets more accurately and extract richer information from them,” said Kari Dickenson, Surfer Product Manager. “This is extremely useful for geologists, geophysicists, hydrologists, and environmental engineers to visualize subsurface conditions around drillholes and in water tables, contamination plumes and hydrocarbon reservoirs.”

Equipped with fast and powerful contouring algorithms, Surfer has been relied upon for the past 40 years to easily visualize, analyze, and interpret complex data sets. It is used by more than 100,000 professionals worldwide, many involved in environmental services, engineering consulting, oil & gas exploration, mining, and geospatial projects.

The new version of Surfer includes several enhancements:

Surfer Beta Available

As is the tradition, Golden Software has released a Beta version of Surfer simultaneously with the new version to give customers a chance to try out new features while they are still in development. Users may find the Beta version by clicking File | Online from within Surfer.

“The Beta capabilities under development significantly build on the true 3D gridding functionality released today,” said Dickenson. “Not only are we adding XYZC tools, we are making them easier to access and use.”

Here are the new features available in Beta now, to be officially included in the next Surfer release:
