scarplet is a tool for topographic feature detection and diffusion or degradation dating. It allows users to define template functions based on the curvature of a landform, and fit them to digital elevation data. As a package, it provides

• A scalable template matching algorithm with match and compare operations
• A Scarp template for fault scarp diffusion dating, and templates for detecting river channels or impact craters
• Flexible template classes
