Managing director James Tweedie said: "Surfer version 10 represents another big step in the continuing development of this powerful software application. Surfer is used by tens of thousands of engineers and technical operatives world-wide, many of whom are in the UK and Ireland.

"In addition to its more usual tasks of mapping 3D surfaces and terrain modeling Surfer has been used for mapping impurities on silicon chips (at the nano scale); mapping electrical potentials on concrete road bridges (to detect possible weaknesses and cracking), for displaying the temperature profiles in Nuclear reactors and for displaying cross sections from borehole data. It is used extensively in quarry, landscape and planning design, in fact, anywhere 3D information needs to be modeled and displayed cost effectively.

"GeoMEM have been supplying and actively supporting Surfer from Golden Software, since 1987 and provide both face to face and online training for this software."

GeoMEM have special upgrade and introductory offers for Surfer 10 until the 28th February 2011.
