digger: Utility tools for landslide runout modeling (version 1.2.0)
January 23, 2026
Digger is a python package that provides a number of pre- and post-processing tools for landslide runout modeling. Many aspects of digger have been tailored for use with the D-Claw model. It may also be useful for initializing and postprocessing the results of other runout models.
D-Claw requires input files and generates output files in very specific formats. Simulation output generates files in a specific format (see the clawpack documentation for more detail). The purpose of this package is to make it easier to create these input files and conduct semi-standard analyses on the output files.
