The Geoscience Community Analysis Toolkit: An open development, community driven toolkit in the scientific Python ecosystem

In response to dealing with increasing geoscientific data sizes, GeoCAT prioritizes scalability, ensuring its implementations are scalable from personal laptops to HPC clusters. Another major goal of the GeoCAT team is to ensure community involvement throughout the whole project lifecycle, which is realized through an open development mindset by encouraging users and contributors to get involved in decision-making.

With this model, we not only have our project stack open-sourced but also ensure most of the project assets that are directly related to the software development lifecycle are publicly accessible.
