A tour of open-source software packages for the geosciences

Session ID#: 78079

Session Description:
This session will be a rapid-fire tour (5 min) of open source tools freely available for researchers in the geosciences. The fast-growing open source software ecosystem is creating new tools and changing paradigms for how computers and collaborations are used to study Earth processes. If you have written open-source software that could be useful to others, we look forward to seeing your submission. This session will not only be an opportunity to showcase your own packages and learn  about other available tools, we also hope it will be an opportunity to connect with others working on related problems and lead to opportunities to form new collaborations. The session will be accompanied by a posters where the audience can engage individually with the presenters. We welcome submissions from all domains.
