🚨 Excited to announce a new release of ipytone, a big one and the first “public” release!
More details below 🧵
But let’s start with this little piece of music made entirely in a @ProjectJupyter notebook (+ some “waving topography” made with pyvista / ipygany). 🔊🔊🔊🌍

I can't say I've been very active on social networks so far... Here I won't be at all. You can find me there:

🚀 We are thrilled to announce the release of the Icechunk storage engine, a new open-source library and specification for the storage of multidimensional array (a.k.a. tensor) data in cloud object storage.

I am hiring! I am looking for a PhD student to work with myself, @ChrisAndermann, Micha Dietze and Niels Hovius to study the connectivity between groundwater, surface water, and sediment yield. The job will involve code development and field work in the beautiful Eifel mountains.
Thanks to all contributors to this release!! @HSophiaDavies, Guillaume Cordonnier, @AdrienDelsalle and people at @QuantStack for their contribution and advice on the design of the library (also for #xtensor!)
It is supported by @GFZ_Potsdam (Jean Braun’s section @GFZ_SurfMod).
It took a long time, but finally I’m glad to announce a new release (re-written from scratch) of Fastscapelib: a core library for landscape evolution modelling
Some highlights 🧵 (1/8)
… And more features in the next releases, hopefully soon(-ish)!
Give it a try! There are pre-compiled packages on Conda-forge and PyPI for the Python bindings.
Repository is here: github.com/fastscape-lem/fas… (8/8)

Last summer for @GFZ_SurfMod's contribution to LNDW23, #fastscape was used together with Jupyter widgets to create a special kind of photo booth. A fun way to show how landscape evolution models work!
Based on my 15 last journeys, the chance of my train being cancelled or delayed +2h is nearly 100%. @DB_Bahn would it be possible to directly book my next journey for half the price?
Experimenting with @trevmanz #anywidget to see how we can make @xarray_dev outputs more dynamic and interactive (e.g., filtering content).

“Scientists used to love Twitter. Thanks to Elon Musk, they’re giving up on it”
Scientists do seem to be leaving.
I’ve noticed a huge drop in engagement for scientific content. It’s maybe as low as 10% of what it once was.

No, these sounds are definitely not "recorded" from the nebula, but it is fun playing with sound using space image data! And it can be done in @ProjectJupyter notebooks!

These sounds were recorded from 30 trillion km away, of 'Pillars of Creation' Nebula by NASA.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misinformation Caption.
This is Not recorded sound.
Its scanning across an image (any image) and playing a note depending on brightness/color of the image pixel. A different sound heard if scan across differently.
Sonification does have its uses, the correct interpretation,
