Collection of Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks (supported by JupyterLab) to reproduce some of the geographic maps shown in thepublications I am involved. To prepare these maps I am usingPyGMT the Python wrapper for theGeneric Mapping Tools (GMT).

Please note: Scripts or notebooks are available up on acceptance of the related publication.
