The place for scientists that like rocks and computers.

The Software Underground is a grass-roots community of subsurface professionals — academic and applied geologists, geophysicists, resource engineers, and others — who write code and use computers in their work.

The community started in 2014 as a slack group and has grown in scale and membership. In 2020, the Software Underground formally became a Professional Society registered as a non-profit organisation in Canada with the mission of supporting this community into the future.

Our members work across academia and industry in various industries including:

 - Geoscience
 - Oil & Energy
 - Mining, Minerals, Metals
 - Geothermal

The heart of Software Underground (aka SWUNG) is based around conversations and interactions in our slack discussion forum, events and hackathons.
