Abstract
GravPack is a gravity data processing package developed utilizing MATLAB. The package is aimed at providing a standalone and processing environment for Bouguer gravity data by putting various modules (such as spectral analysis, filtering, boundary analyses, and modelling) together. It is designed to be user-friendly, which results in an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) consisting of a single window with separate tabs for each processing step. Aside from Bouguer gravity data processing, GravPack includes other useful features such as coordinate conversion, cropping, gridding, re-formatting data files, and displaying data in various ways, all of which can be used on various datasets other than gravity data. In this paper, the theoretical background for gravity data processing and interpretation is summarized. Then, GravPack and its capability of applying these processing steps are introduced using Bouguer gravity data of Konya-Çumra area (Western Anatolia). And finally, current capabilities and superiorities of GravPack are discussed.

Funding
This study is resulted from the MSc. Thesis of Nedim Gökhan AYDIN and is supported with the research funds of Istanbul Technical University Scientific Research Projects (ITU-BAP, Project ID 40703). The authors would like to thank Mr. H. Tuğrul GENÇ and Prof. Dr. Bülent ORUÇ for their extensive supports during the development of GravPack. Gravity data processing package, GravPack, consists of a single MATLAB file (gravpack.m) and two folders called lang and sys in the same directory. The package is developed by Nedim Gökhan Aydın ([email protected], +90 538 716 6286) at Istanbul Technical University (34469, Maslak, Istanbul, Turkey). The package is available since summer of 2018 and can be run on all devices with MATLAB 2015 or its newer versions. Only two of the boundary analysis methods require Image Processing Toolbox installed. The package’s size is about 380 kb in zipped form and can be downloaded from Mendeley database (10.17632/br8rkv76x5.1).
