Abstract
The immense advances in computer power achieved in the last decades have had a significant
impact in Earth science, providing valuable research outputs that allow the simulation of complex
natural processes and systems, and generating improved forecasts. The development and
implementation of innovative geoscientific software is currently evolving towards a sustainable
and efficient development by integrating models of different aspects of the Earth system. This will
set the foundation for a future digital twin of the Earth. The codification and update of this
software require great effort from research groups and therefore, it needs to be preserved for its
reuse by future generations of geoscientists. Here, we report on Geo-Soft-CoRe, a Geoscientific
Software & Code Repository, hosted at the archive DIGITAL.CSIC. This is an open source,
multidisciplinary and multiscale collection of software and code developed to analyze different
aspects of the Earth system, encompassing tools to: 1) analyze climate variability; 2) assess
hazards, and 3) characterize the structure and dynamics of the solid Earth. Due to the broad
range of applications of these software packages, this collection is useful not only for basic
research in Earth science, but also for applied research and educational purposes, reducing the
gap between the geosciences and the society. By providing each software and code with a
permanent identifier (DOI), we ensure its self-sustainability and accomplish the FAIR (Findable,
Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles. Therefore, we aim for a more transparent
science, transferring knowledge in an easier way to the geoscience community, and
encouraging an integrated use of computational infrastructure.
