        Cryosphere And Remote Sensing Toolkit (CARST)
        =============================================
        
        This package analyzes satellite images, particularly SAR and optical images, and monitor changes of glaciers and ice caps through time. CARST toolkit has two main scripts: elevation changes (also known as dh/dt) and feature tracking. You can also import carst with python for using its various modules.
        
        Dependencies
        ------------------------------
        Required packages:
        
        - python >= 3.0
        - scipy
        - gdal
        - shapely
        - rasterio
        - geopandas
        - matplotlib
        
        Optional package:
        - ISCE >= 2.0.0 (built with your python, required for feature tracking)
        
        Installation
        ------------------------------
        `pip install carst`
        
        CLI
        ------------------------------
        - `$ dhdt.py --help`
        - `$ featuretrack.py --help`
        
        Using CARST in Python
