DSAS version 5.0 is a culmination of many years of collaborative effort to refine the functionality of the software to meet the needs of a global user base. The authors wish to thank Rob Thieler for the idea that started it all, Amy Farris for converting all of the original MATLAB code to Python for this update, Jessica Zichichi, Ayhan Ergul, and Ouya Zhang from Corona Environmental for making this new version a reality, and the diverse user community for providing feedback, questions, and inspiration for ways to improve the DSAS workflow. v
