The Bushfire Attack Level Toolbox provides access to ArcGIS geoprocessing scripts that calculate the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) as per Method 1 in AS3959-2009. BAL is a measure of the severity of a building's potential exposure to ember attack, radiant head and direct flame contact. It is defined in AS3959-2009 to serve as a basis for establishing the requirements for construction to improve protection of building elements from attack by bushfire. In the BAL Toolbox, the calculation method (as defined in AS3959-2009) is adapted to be applied spatially. Input information required are a digital elevation model and classified vegetation data. The BAL Toolbox allows users to calculate BAL for small regions, without the need for large computational resources or for executing code in command-line environments. This will provide stakeholders with the ability to efficiently generate rigorous and robust maps of Bushfire Attack Level that adhere to the national standard, compared to products generated by manual techniques. The BAL Toolbox code is written in Python, utilising the ArcGIS "arcpy" module to enable easy reading/writing of raster data and to provide methods for a graphical user interface in the standard ArcGIS tool style. The BAL Toolbox User Guide provides users an overview of the Toolbox, instructions on installation, any customisations execution and evaluation of results.

The Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM) is a statistical-parametric model of tropical cyclone behaviour and effects. A statistical model is used to generate synthetic tropical cyclone events. This is then combined with a parametric wind field model to produce estimates of cyclonic wind hazard.

This software suite has been under development since 1969 and is stored as a file system under /nas/pmd/prg/. It consists of source code for geophysical software written for processing tasks which cannot be accomplished using commercially licensed software accessible to GA. The majority of this software is written in Fortran, Perl, Python, awk and Visual Basic programming languages designed to run on Unix, Linux, Windows and Vax/VMS operating systems. At the date of this entry the collection has 1390 inventoried computer programs and 263,000 lines of code. The source code contains standardised headers following guidelines developed by GA's Programmer User Group (and fits with ISO 19115), and this allows the collection to be discovered and delivered via a web-based seach tool (see links). Current contributors are listed as authors of this metadata entry, however past employees and others are noted with the standard author header for each item of software.

GA's 3D DataViewer, built off GA's EarthSci platform.

The GA Animator Software is a tool used to create high quality fly-through animations of geoscience data for internal and external stakeholders. It is build using the NASA World Wind Java SDK, as a companion tool to the publicly available 3D Data Viewer.
