This workshop aims to provide a detailed technical demonstration of GMT/PyGMT's
capabilities in creating maps and visualizations of geospatial, geophysical, and
planetary data across a wide range of applications. PyGMT, a Python library built on top
of the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), offers an intuitive and accessible interface for
generating high-quality figures suitable for publication. Suitable for both beginner and
advanced Python users, this workshop will cover advanced techniques for manipulating
geospatial and geophysical data, widely utilized in the Earth, Ocean and Planetary
Science communities, providing participants with the necessary skills to extract
meaningful insights and effectively communicate their findings through clear and
informative maps and visualizations. By exploring GMT/PyGMT's functionalities,
participants will have the opportunity to learn how to create customized maps and data
visualizations tailored to the specific needs of their research areas.

We invite students and researchers from the Earth, Ocean, and Planetary sciences
community to join. The focus of this workshop is to develop skills on using free and
open source software, coding, data manipulation and visualization. Learn to produce
publication-ready figures, especially geographic maps, using PyGMT including the
integration with the PyData ecosystem.
