System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA GIS) is a geographic information system (GIS) computer program, used to edit spatial data. It is free and open-source software, developed originally by a small team at the Department of Physical Geography, University of Göttingen, Germany, and is now being maintained and extended by an international developer community.
SAGA GIS is intended to give scientists an effective but easily learnable platform for implementing geoscientific methods. This is achieved by the application programming interface (API). SAGA has a fast-growing set of geoscientific methods, bundled in exchangeable module libraries.
The standard modules are:
SAGA GIS is an effective tool with user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that requires only about 10 MB disk space. No installation needed.
Available for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.
SAGA GIS can be used together with other GIS software like Kosmo and QGIS to get better vector data and map producing capabilities. SAGA GIS modules can be executed from within the statistical data analysis software R to integrate statistical and GIS analyses.
