Geologist and hydrologist, expert in Python, Fortran, geospatial data, modelling & machine learning

Profile Summary

I am a geoscientists with an interest in large-scale groundwater systems, the history of groundwater flow in faults and hot springs, sedimentary basin history and low-temperature thermochronology. I specialise in designing new geoscientific model codes and analysing large geospatial datasets using mostly Python. See my GitHub repository: https://github.com/ElcoLuijendijk for some examples of geospatial analysis and model codes
