# Python Scripts and Jupyter Notebooks using PyGMT



Collection of Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks (supported by JupyterLab) to reproduce some of the geographic maps shown in the

publications I am involved. To prepare these maps I am using [_PyGMT_](https://www.pygmt.org/latest/) the Python wrapper for the

[_Generic Mapping Tools_ (_GMT_)](https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/).



_Please note_: Scripts or notebooks are available up on acceptance of the related publication.
