[4] External Resources (opens in new tab)

  • Mars QuickMap

    Lightweight/interactive mapping tool with various datasets, completely in your browser! This is my personal go-to. Tip: use bit.ly/marsquickmap for a preconfigured link that disables the default layers.

  • PySHTools Tutorials

    PySHTools is a python package for spherical harmonic computation/analysis in planetary sciences. Their "Tutorials & Guides" section is an amazing resource for learning both the package and spherical harmonics in general.
