Scabbard

Python package to design, use or visualise topographic analysis, landscape evolution models and hydro/morphodynamics simulations. Among other, home of GraphFlood (CPU and GPU) and CHONK. This framework is also building a GPU backend for general purpose landscape modeling.

Built on the shoulder of giants

scabbard started as a personal codebase and evolved toward a fully-fledge numerical Framework. It uses the robust and battle-tested scientific python stack (e.g. numpy, scipy, numba, ...) and geospatial python (e.g. rasterio, geopandas, libgdal, ...). It also relies on multiple domain-specific libraries to built a future-proof and community-compatible backend: libtopotoolbox and pytopotoolbox, fastscapelib, LSDTopoTool as well as my own collection of c++ and numba routines. All the GPU backends use taichi to ensure cross-platform/hardware compatibility and user-friendly code.
