Abstract

Ursa is a python tool for the setup, management, and analysis of postfire debris-flow runout simulations. Ursa provides (1) a set of python functions that accomplish each phase of a hazard assessment workflow and (2) a Snakemake snakefile that uses the python functions to run the entire workflow. Ursa is intended as a flexible tool for a particular purpose. It is not intended as a general or extensible software package.
