This Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) project creates a software ecosystem to support terrain parameter analysis. Terrain parameter analysis provides numerical descriptors of the shape and form of land surfaces, which are indispensable data used in the study of agriculture, wildfires, irrigation, and other geosciences-related domains. Terrain parameters provide significant insights into soil moisture distribution, fire behavior, and hydrological processes. This project directly addresses the need for robust, open-source terrain parameter analysis tools through the development of an open-source software ecosystem centered around the GeoTiled software. This software empowers users to engage in swift computation of terrain parameters, thereby making data analysis both accessible and practical. The development of an open-science ecosystem to support GeoTiled will lower technical and computational barriers faced by the scientific community, and will facilitate data-driven decision-making that can enhance agricultural productivity and reduce environmental risks. The open-source nature of the project fosters innovation and transparency, providing the United States with a long-lasting edge in geospatial science and environmental modeling. This project establishes a sustainable open-source software ecosystem centered on high-performance tools for computing terrain parameters. The project is based on a software platform that partitions digital elevation models into
