Obspy
ObsPy is an open-source project dedicated to provide a Python framework for processing seismological data. It provides parsers for common file formats, clients to access data centers and seismological signal processing routines which allow the manipulation of seismological time series (see [Beyreuther2010], [Megies2011], [Krischer2015]).
The goal of the ObsPy project is to facilitate rapid application development for seismology.
ObsPy is in use worldwide on all scales ranging from individual researchers to big data portals' infrastructures. Its widespread use is documented by 3000+ citations in peer reviewed publications (link zu https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki#acknowledging).

Cryomag
A new software package, called CryoMag, facilitates the measurement of magnetic moments using both 3-component (i.e. Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) and 2-component (i.e. spinner) magnetometers. The measurement process is optimized for, but not limited to, stepwise demagnetization experiments commonly used in paleomagnetism. A graphical representation of the data is always visible to the user in the form of orthogonal, stereonet and decay diagrams, which can be represented in in situ, geographic or tilt corrected coordinates and can be saved as graphics files. Instrument specific settings, as well as arbitrary measurement positions, can be easily customized in a single configuration file. A comprehensive record of detailed measurement and statistical data is stored in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based data files (*.cmag.xml). The final results of the measurements can be exported to several common file formats for further processing. The software is written in Python, an open source, cross-platform programming language.

TerraNeo / HyTeG
TerraNeo is a long-running project that aims at providing a next-generation mantle convection code capable of efficiently running models with 1 km global resolution on exa-scale supercomputers.
Our open source software is based on HyTeG (Hybrid Tetrahedral Grids), a framework for extreme-scale high performance finite element simulations, that we develop together with partners from different institutions.
Thus far, TerraNeo has been shown to be able to solve systems with up to 1011 degrees of freedom scaling to more than 300,000 MPI processes.

RevBayes
RevBayes provides an interactive environment for statistical computation in phylogenetics. It is primarily intended for modeling, simulation, and Bayesian inference in evolutionary biology, particularly phylogenetics. However, the environment is quite general and can be useful for many complex modeling tasks.
RevBayes uses its own language, Rev, which is a probabilistic programming language like JAGS, STAN, Edward, PyMC3, and related software. However, phylogenetic models require inference machinery and distributions that are unavailable in these other tools. The Rev language is similar to the language used in R. Like the R language, Rev is designed to support interactive analysis. It supports both functional and procedural programming models, and makes a clear distinction between the two. Rev is also more strongly typed than R.
