Detailed outlines

Jot down some of the learning outcomes for your 45 min tutorial!
This can include 3-4 main bullet points, and a few sub-points.

Ideas from past workshops:

Introduction (@weiji14)

What is GMT/PyGMT?
Things you can do
- Plotting vector/raster data
- Data processing

Installation (everyone)

Prepare installation instructions before workshop
Windows - check that bash scripts work (esp. for GMT scripts)
Make sure to test that GMT movie works

Tutorial 1 - Beginning first figure + Subplots/layout (@jhtong33)

Step-by-step guide on setting up a basic figure
Downloading global datasets to focus on the region of interest
Visualizing grids
Customizing colorbar labels and positioning
Organizing multiple plots into a single figure using subplots
Choosing a projection

Tutorial 2 - Integration with the Scientific Python ecosystem: Pandas and Geopandas (@yvonnefroehlich)

Plotting pandas and geopanadas data
Different geometries (point, lines, polygons)
Chorophelet maps
Handling apatial data
Filtering and using different styles / filles for plotting
Conversion of objects from other python packages to geopandas related objects

Tutorial 3 - Grids? (@maxrjones)

Load xarray.DataArray
…
…

Tutorial 4 - Geophysics (Seismology) - @jhtong33/@yvonnefroehlich

Using obspy to download earthquakes and stations

Tutorial 5a - Visualizing Mars: A Quick Guide to Using PyGMT for Orbiter Imagery and Topography (@andrebelem)

Selecting data from Mars orbiters and topography to use (compatibility)
Step-by-step guide to plotting satellite images of Mars using PyGMT
Customizing plots for better visualization
Techniques for visualizing Mars' topographic data with PyGMT
Creating detailed topographic maps
Integrating both satellite imagery and topographic data into a single plot
Enhancing visualization with color scales, annotations, and other features

Tutorial 5b - Exploring Antarctic Landscapes: 3D Mapping with IBCSO V2 Data (@andrebelem)

Selecting and accessing the IBCSO V2 dataset for Antarctic topography
Step-by-step guide for loading and manipulating topographic data with PyGMT
Customizing 3D maps for better clarity and aesthetics
Integrating different data layers to enhance visualizations
Plotting science data over 3D maps (Integrating Earth Engine Data with PyGMT - TBC)
Exporting and sharing your visualizations in high-quality formats

Tutorial 6 - Animations with GMT ( @Esteban82 )

Understand GMT's approach to making animations
Explore the movie module
Explore the events module
Make a few simple movies

Final project - DIY?

Options (if people don't have ideas):
- Cross-profile maps
- Tilemaps (e.g. OSM background)
- Geological map (e.g. USGS, etc)
- LiDAR point cloud processing
