Randlab participates in the open science movement by promoting open access code, data sets and publications.
Codes
Most of our codes are available via our github repository.
You will find there many tools including:
- hytool – a matlab library for the interpretation of hydraulic tests
- geone – a python library for geostatistical data analysis and modeling, including multiple point statistics methods.
- archpy – a python library for the semi-automatic construction of 3D geological models and modflow preprocessing
- pykasso – a python library for the simulation of karstic networks
Other codes are available via dedicated repositories:
- karstnet – a python library for the statistical characterization of the geometry and topology of karstic networks
- feflow_speleogenesis – a C++ code (iFM) to let feflow simulate speleogenesis
For those who are not well versed in coding and python, some of our codes are also available via a graphical user interface within some commercial software. For example our multiple point statistics code DeeSse is available in Aspen-Skua, Petrel (in collaboration with Ephesia-Consult) and Isatis.neo (in collaboration with geovariances)
Data sets
Sharing data is a key to advance science. This is why we share our data and models whenever possible.

Publications
Most of our publications are published in open access and available there: orcid / google scholar / selection with pdfs
