<p>Can someone help me with the loading of .grd files (geophysical imagery) into QGIS? I’ve tried loading this as a raster layer as well as simply trying to open the file, but both routes tell me the file format isn’t recognised.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Is this a "Surfer Grid file"? <a href="https://fileinfo.com/extension/grd">

<p>suggests that GDAL may support a related (public) exchange format. Can you export from your software to this format (.gxf)?</p>
