Computational and statistical assessment of data has become the most valuable resource in every field including geoscience for making accurate decision. Analysis of soil and earth structures requires complex mathematical and numerical simulation which demands significant expertise and resources inciting costlier and tedious tasks. The unavailability of proper open-source tools and technical resources has resulted in limited flow of knowledge among the research communities. These resources, however, when available is not easy to understand due to its complexity in data analysis and results interpretation, and restricted mostly to the original contributor. This paper presents some recent developments in geoscience field such as geology, remote sensing, soil and rock mechanics where the open-source tool R-programming can be used in statistical research and understandings. It also describes the list of packages available in R-programming for specific field of study and how it can be used to promote open and reproducible research.
