How to install SGeMS on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

SGeMS is a software for 3D geostatistical modeling. It implements many of the classical geostatistics algorithms, as well as new developments made at the SCRF lab, Stanford University.
SGeMS relies on the Geostatistics Template Library (GsTL) to implement its geostatistical routines, including:

* Kriging
* Multi-variate kriging (co-kriging)
* Sequential Gaussian simulation
* Sequential indicator simulation
* Multi-variate sequential Gaussian and indicator simulation
* Multiple-point statistics simulation
