Built by a group of Geologist at the University of Colorado, Landlab is a Python-based toolkit for modeling earth surface processes.

Landlab hired me as a UX Developer to increase the tool’s publicity and distribution.

Because Landlab is a public, open-source, GitHub-based repository, a GitHub webpage was chosen as the home for the organization. The colorful, simple splash page links to the public Landlab wiki as well as the Sphinx-generated readthedocs Developer API for the library. This simple, open-source, transparent, and free solution suits the academic context of this product.
