Introducing pyTopoComplexity:
A Python package for multiscale topographic complexity analysis. It talks to Landlab, leveraging landscape evolution modeling to study how surface complexity/roughness evolves in response to various processes. Install via pip or conda 🧵1/3

It was really fun to present in the SoftRock seminar at the @txgeosciences.bsky.social today, talking about early outcomes of this collaborative project with Prof. @xding.bsky.social. We are looking forward to sharing more in the GSA meeting in San Antonio, TX!

So proud to see the first @geomorphica.bsky.social paper published online! (more to come!) 🥳
Shout out to @weareseismica.bsky.social & PSU Libraries for their technical support that helped me setting up our article template! Watching a paper generate on my screen is so much fun! #DiamondOpenAccess
