Development of geophysical apps in Matlab since undergraduate studies

We present two apps of geophysical phenomena created in Matlab App Designer® by two bachelor students at Politecnico di Torino as their degree thesis. The first app shows the polar-wandering phenomenon, that is, the temporal variation of the location of the magnetic and geomagnetic poles. The second app allows the forward modelling of magnetic anomaly generated by simple bodies (i.e., sphere, dyke and horizontal plate). Both apps are intuitive and interactive, as they illustrate in few seconds and commands a plethora of examples. The objectives of the works were to foster the adoption of new technology trends at the earliest approach to geophysics and to encourage programming skills among undergraduate students. The apps have been published in Mathworks and are available for download from this link: https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/164016-geophysical-modeling-apps-formagnetic- poles-and-anomalies. They can be of interest for both academia members (young researchers, students and lecturers) and app developers in the field of geophysics.
