Awesome Open Geoscience

Geoscience is awesome.

Open geoscience is even more awesome, so we made a list. This list is curated from repositories that make our lives as geoscientists, hackers and data wranglers easier or just more awesome. In accordance with the awesome manifesto, we add awesome repositories. We are open to contributions of course, this is a community effort after all. If you are interested in being a maintainer of this repository, leave the maintainer role file.
