Description

GRASS, Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, is a powerful computational engine for raster, vector, and geospatial processing. It supports terrain and ecosystem modeling, hydrology, data management, and imagery processing. With a built-in temporal framework and Python API, it enables advanced time series analysis and rapid geospatial programming, optimized for large-scale analysis on various hardware configurations.

You can use GRASS as your desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) or as a geoprocessing engine through command-line, Python or R interface.

GRASS is open-source and free software, available under the GNU General Public License, and hosted by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).

GRASS uses a custom governance model and is fiscally sponsored by NumFOCUS. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to help the project pay for developer time, professional services, travel, workshops, and a variety of other needs.
