Software Underground

the place for scientists that like rocks and computers. the software underground is a grass-roots community of subsurface professionals — academic and applied geologists, geophysicists, resource engineers, and others — who write code and use computers in their work. the community started in 2014 as a slack group and has grown in scale and membership. in 2020, the software underground formally became a professional society registered as a non-profit organisation in canada with the mission of supporting this community into the future. our members work across academia and industry in various industries including: - geoscience - oil & energy - mining, minerals, metals - geothermal the heart of software underground (aka swung) is based around conversations and interactions in our slack discussion forum, events and hackathons.
