EASy is an advanced GIS with the capability to view, analyze and store diverse types of environmental data. Unlike other GIS software, EASy has been specifically designed to display data utilizing time, depth and geo-spatial information. This dynamic 4-D capability is vital for studying marine and terrestrial environments with their complex horizontal and vertical structures.

EASy2, the new version, reads satellite and ocean model imagery directly, downloads it from Copernicus Marine, NOAA and NASA, and runs on Windows 7 and later.
