Grappling with barriers in geosciences from the lens of two Latina geoscientists
Abstract: “This article reviews our shared experience as two minoritized graduate students, encapsulating what the barriers we encountered were, and identifies the impacts of a personal disinterest by geoscientists and institutional disinvestment in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues in the geosciences. Specifically, in this article we advance the concept of disinvestment in the academy,…
The Bedform Analysis Method for Bathymetric Information (BAMBI)
Hi everyone, below is the Github link to BAMBI. Please reach out if you have any questions! BAMBI Github: https://github.com/juliamorphology/bambi_0.1.0 If you are interested in other bedform analysis techniques, especially for a range of environments, I encourage you to check out the bedform analysis methods that have been created by my colleagues at: https://marid.net/toolboxes/
