Anatoly Tsyplenkov (Ph.D., Geo. Sci.) is a geomorphologist and software engineer based in Palmerston North, New Zealand. As a geomorphologist, he works on sediment transport and erosion processes at Landcare Research Ltd., including scenario-based sediment budget and water quality modeling, landslide mitigation practices, and climate change impacts on soil erosion and sediment loads. He taught “Spatial Modeling of the Environment” at National Research University Higher School of Economics, “Fundamentals of Hydrology” at Lomonosov Moscow State University, and has authored more than fifty articles on fluvial geomorphology, soil erosion, and mountain hydrology. As a software engineer, he works on all things geospatial, including linear feature extraction from closed geometries, hydrological modeling tools, and R implementation of Whitebox Workflows for Python.
Anatoly is an ECR at the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), an associate councilor of the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation (WASWAC), and a maintainer of dozens of R and Python libraries, web apps, and VS Code extensions at the intersection of geoscience, geospatial data, and research integrity.
