State of JuliaGeo
07-27, 15:00–15:10 (UTC), Green

JuliaGeo is a community that contains several related Julia packages for manipulating, querying, and processing geospatial geometry data. We aim to provide a common interface between geospatial packages. In 2022 there has been a big push to have parity with the Python geospatial packages, such as rasterio and geopandas. In this 10 minute talk, we'd like to show these improvements---both in code and documentation---during a tour of the geospatial ecosystem.

We'll showcase the new traits-based release of GeoInterface.jl and work on GeoDataFrames.jl, GeoArrays.jl and Rasters.jl. It includes new packages like GeoFormatTypes, Extents.jl and GeoAcceleratedArrays.jl. We will conclude with future plans, such as enabling geospatial operations in DTables using Dagger.jl.

Dr. Josh Day (PhD Statistics, NC State) is a Senior Research Scientist at Julia Computing where he develops technical R&D software. He's motivated by unsolved problems and his research interests are on-line algorithms (OnlineStats.jl), numerical optimization, and data visualization. He maintains many Julia packages which can be viewed on Github.
