[Qgis-user] Loading up .grd files into QGIS

[Fielding, Eric J (US 329A)]

Hi ajwchile,

I know of two types of geophysical files that have the .grd file extension for gridded datasets. One is the Surfer Grid and the other is the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT). I use GMT software all the time, and QGIS and GDAL usually have that GMT format included as an option.  

Does the "gdalinfo" command recognize the format? If it does, then GDAL and QGIS should be able to read it. If "gdalinfo" does not recognize the format, then it is possible the files were corrupted somehow.

Best,

    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!
