Summary

  • SAGA[1] is the abbreviation for System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses
  • SAGA is a Geographic Information System (GIS) software
  • SAGA has been designed for an easy and effective implementation of spatial algorithms
  • SAGA offers a comprehensive, growing set of geoscientific methods
  • SAGA provides an easily approachable user interface with many visualisation options
  • SAGA runs under Windows and Linux operating systems
  • SAGA is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS)
  • SAGA have a growing world wide user community, which also provide contributions from outside the developer core team
  • BGS Coasts & Estuaries team has contributed to SAGA with CliffMetrics[2] and Profile Crossings[3] toolboxes
  • BGS has also contributed to the development of the Open Digital Shoreline Analysis System (ODAS) which combines SAGA-CliffMetrics and SAGA-ProfileCrossings with additional code in R-CoastCR: Coastal Change using R.[3]
  • For a reference on how to use ODSAS we refer the reader to the open access manuscript by Paz et al. (2022)[4] and the dedicated GitHub repository of R-CoastCR [5].
