Julia Geospatial Community Meeting
The Julia ecosystem for handling geospatial data and analysis is growing and improving. This is a session for anyone interested in geo in Julia to meet package contributors and users to discuss future direction and collaboration efforts.
In this community building session we aim to:
- Hear what people are doing in Julia and Geo
- Develop group goals and common understanding for ecosystem coherence
- Uncover gaps and rough edges in the ecosystem
- Lower the barrier to getting involved
A rough program:
- Introductions: what are you using Julia for, in three words
- Show and tell: share your geo packages and projects that don't have their own JuliaCon talks
- The good, the bad and the ugly in Julia geospatial: a constructive session of gripe-driven development
- Slido poll with questions on datasets, pain points, nice things, integrations, major wishes for the ecosystem

Product engineer for Dyad, the new modeling and simulation language from JuliaHub. Also heavily involved in geospatial (via JuliaGeo and GeometryOps.jl) and Makie.jl, as well as the Documenter.jl ecosystem.
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.
