Excel Spreadsheets for Geologists

From Dr David Waltham
A number of spreadsheets have been developed for various purposes. Anyone interested is welcome to download these from this site without charge. You may also distribute them freely provided the copyright notices on them are not altered. I strongly recommend that you download the files to your own machine rather than attempting to run them off the web site.

Dr Waltham can be visited at Royal Holloway College's website. You can also get these and other spreadsheets from the author's website as well. Dr Waltham's book may be purchased at Blackwell Science online.

Click on any of the column headers to sort the downloads by that criteria.
