CFSRC Investigators develop software solutions in their research, and collaboration on these tools is a benefit for the consortium investigators and students. Much of the software is in house. The following provides links to key software resources of use by CFSRC researchers that are publicly available. This page was last updated in 2023 (see this news item for further details).
