Description
GRIDobj.toposhielding computes topographic shielding factors for cosmogenic nuclide production rates.
This composes several functions including gradient8 (#65), aspect (#102) and castshadow (#117) and applies a kind of map-reduce pattern, which might be more efficiently computed in libtopotoolbox.

Research direction
Start at the GRIDobj.toposhielding entry point and read the implementations of gradient8, aspect, and castshadow, including issues #65, #102, and #117. Trace how the map-reduce computation should compose these functions and determine the expected shielding factors and validation criteria before considering a libtopotoolbox implementation.
