@McWhity it seems that this has been forked from a fork of pygeo. Could explain the provenance of this repository a bit? Thanks.

[McWhity]

@crvernon you are right the original repository is pygeo/sense. It was started by my former supervisor and colleague, Alexander Löw, who unfortunately died in a car accident. Thus, we do not have writing access to pygeo/sense, which is unfortunate. To continue the repository in his honor, another colleague forked it to PMarzahn/sense. However, since he did not actually work on the Python code, I moved the repository to my account to continue updating and improving it. I know it is not ideal, but we had to deal with the circumstances. Alexander Löw (pygeo) is credited as author, and he is also acknowledged as the person who initiated the repository (see Paper draft).

[crvernon]

@McWhity - Got it. Thank you for the clarification and my condolences for you loss.

[crvernon]
