sandplover

sandplover is a Python package for manipulating depositional system data cubes. The package has robust objects and routines designed to help organize, visualize, and analyze topography and sedimentological timeseries data. sandplover works especially well with data from deltaic systems (e.g., the pyDeltaRCM numerical model and laboratory delta experiments).
