Next week at the #GSA2025, I'll be presenting my newly developed Python tool, 𝒑𝒚𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓. We apply it to quantitatively re-examine the correlatability of Cascadia deep-water turbidites, previously interpreted as synchronous deposits of paleo-earthquakes.

Heading to the #CRESCENT meeting at U Washington! Thrilled to share more about our novel analytical approach/tool, pyCoreRelator, for semi-automated stratigraphic correlation & its applications to turbidite seismology research!

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!

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

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
Today is a big day for us, extremely happy and excited to share our first issue that includes the first paper ever published with Geomorphica. Congratulations to the authors 🎉
