If you are new to this forum, feel free to stop by here to introduce yourself. We are all humans and it’s always nice to know the people talking to us 🙂 You could just say “Hi” or tell us a bit about yourself. Which ever feels right for you. > **NOTE:** Let’s keep this thread as a place for introductions. You can always start a new thread if someone’s introduction makes you want to reply and discuss something. ---

Hello all, I am Lester, a structural geologist and specialist in geodynamics and the applications of potential-field data for regional tectonic models. As a long-time GMT user (version 3 onwards) I am very interested in the development of advanced processing methodologies, particularly within GMT, and simplifying tasks in scripting. ---

I am John Robbins, with the ICESat-2 Project Science Office at Goddard Space Flight Center’s Cryospheric Lab. I’m more of a geodesist, and have been using (abusing?) GMT since V.2 days (about 1990). Just discovered this forum. Is this the main place to ask questions, rather than on the github site? Glad to be here! ---

Hi @John_Geodesy, welcome to the forum! Yes, we setup the forum to have a place to chat, ask questions, and post announcements. The [Github Issues](https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/gmt/issues) are where you’d go to report bugs or request features. To ask a question use the [Q&A category](https://flint.soest.hawaii.edu/c/questions) of the forum. If you have cool plots/scripts/links/stories/papers to share involving GMT, then feel to post them in the [Lounge category](https://flint.soest.hawaii.edu/c/lounge). We’ll be making announcements of new releases and events in the [Announcements category](https://flint.soest.hawaii.edu/c/news). If a question turns out to be a bug, we might ask you to submit an Issue on Github instead so you can track the progress. ---

Hey, I’m Michael, a trained seismologist/geophysicist with a strong interest in data science related topics and especially data visualization. I work with GMT since my master starting in 2011 and continued during my PhD. Some of my scripts produced over the years are available from my GitHub account ([GitHub - michaelgrund/GMT-plotting: Collection of GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) scripts, jupyter notebooks (using PyGMT) and files (including digitized map content, colormaps, grid files etc.)](https://github.com/michaelgrund/GMT-plotting)). I’m pleased to use GMT now directly from within the Python ecosystem 😉 ---
