📢 Announcing PyGMT v0.12.0, faster than ever with the use of GMT virtual files! PyGMT is a Python interface for the Generic Mapping Tools, a library for processing geospatial and geophysical data and making publication quality maps and figures.

Main highlight of this release is that almost all module wrappers now use in-memory GMT *virtual files* instead of intermediate temporary files to improve performance 🚀 More at https://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/t/pygmt-v0-12-0/4864

🗺️ Geostatistics in action: the expected number of passenger cars per inhabitant in Sweden.

🍏 Raw data sources are the population grid, the number of registered passenger cars in each Swedish municipality, and the number of inhabitants in each municipality.

🔪 Data preprocessing was done in #QGIS and #geopandas

🥗 Area-to-point support transformation was done in #pyinterpolate

🍻 Visualization in #pygmt

Overall #Python score: 10/10 🐍

Excited to have submitted my PhD thesis "Airborne Geophysical Investigation beneath Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf"! Here is my cover figure, showing my two main outcomes, gravity-inverted bathymetry, and magnetically-derived basement topography.

The first chapter is already published (https://t.co/oxjj55Cjbl) and I'm excited to get the last 2 chapters submitted in the next few months 😊 Now the postdoc job hunt begins ...

Only three stickers today, but I got the coveted ICESat-2 🛰️ sticker!! Revisiting the NASA booths was worth it 😆

Also had a long chat with a new friend who's keen on helping out with PyGMT/GMT (need to transfer those ideas to GitHub issues 😅). Gonna try and catch up with some Pangeo folks tonight for Happy Hour 🥳 https://discourse.pangeo.io/t/agu-happy-hour-wednesday-evening/2992

Great talks come with sticker giveaways at the end 🤗 Thanks to #icepyx, @projectpythia and #PyGMT/#GMT! Also had a blast meeting people I only saw before on GitHub/Zoom for years (and old friends) 😁

Woohoo, got some #stickers and #swag from #GenericMappingTools (#GMT)! Gonna bring some to #AGU22 in Chicago this December to share with #PyGMT users (or anyone really) 😎. Leave me a message below 👇🏻if you want some!
