FlussTools#

The analysis, research, and science-based design of hydrological ecosystems involve complex challenges for interdisciplinary experienced teams. We have created flusstools to meet the complex challenges and to at least partially automate time-consuming, repetitive processes of processing field data, numerical model outputs, or geospatial data. “We” stands for individuals with a great passion for rivers (German: “Flüsse”) and programming. Most of us work (or have worked) at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) at the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems. Because we have a strong commitment to transparent open-source applications, we created flusstools and we welcome new team members (for example, to add or amend a module) at any time - read more in the Become a contributor section.
