Maarten Pronk is a researcher at Deltares and an external PhD candidate at the Delft University of Technology. He holds a MSc in Geomatics and a BSc in Architecture, both from the Delft University of Technology (NL). His research concerns elevation modelling, especially in lowlands prone to coastal flooding. Currently, he works on applying data from ICESat-2, a LiDAR satellite, to global elevation models.
Session
Reading and writing geospatial vector data is the bread and butter of any spatial ecosystem. In this short talk we present GeoDataFrames.jl, the default entrypoint for spatial vector data in the JuliaGeo organisation. We discuss recent and planned updates, such as support for native drivers and metadata passthrough, but also spatial indexing and lazy reading of datasets in the cloud.
