Here are my top 5 geospatial Python libraries. Which would you add?

📣 Exciting News! I'm thrilled to announce the release of my new book: Introduction to GIS Programming: A Practical Python Guide to Open Source Geospatial Tools! ✨ What’s Included: All code examples are freely available. Access to 26 hours of free video tutorials to complement your learning.

First light of thermal images from Muon Space/FireSat looking good: www.muonspace.com/press/muon-s... 🛰️🗺️

Has anyone tried out the new SQL Rooms functionality from @foursquarecom.bsky.social? Looks pretty cool I must say! sqlrooms.org

For years I’ve watched smart and motivated GIS professionals struggle to keep up with modern tools. Not because they’re not capable. But because the way we teach GIS hasn’t evolved with the technology.

So I have a question - can you all help me understand the need or use cases for digital twins? Most of the ones that I see are 3D representations of a city or place, which is cool but what are they used for? And how can they create value?

Encoded polylines and lat/lng pairs in reverse order in a STRING! Not cool NYC Open Data.

I wonder how far we can push NYC Open Data...

🔮 What do you think the next year will hold for geospatial? Which areas are going to grow the most? What new companies are going to emerge? Here are my top 3 (share yours as well!):

I’ve been exploring Esri’s approach to modern GIS and found some interesting signs of progress—but also some critical gaps. Let’s dive in. 🧵

Busy week but managed to get this video up today. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/u1hIU0AsOFc?...

Here is one way I might summarize the live stream.

Happy #GISDay everyone! Excited to share a powerful new coastal monitoring tool available on our #opensource DEA Maps platform: you can now easily compare #DigitalEarthAU Intertidal Elevation data to map 3D coastal change across Australia over time! ⏱ 🌊 🗺️ Map app: maps.dea.ga.gov.au#share=s-pXFl...

We use satellite data to map Canada's forests. 🛰️🌲 National maps represent forest status and trends. Peer reviewed methods & accuracy statements. #landcover #biomass #wildfire #Landsat #Sentinel2 Access open data here: opendata.nfis.org/mapserver/nf...

Only a few hours in and I figured out how to change my handle to @forrest.nyc! Speaking of, I just updated my site this past week too: forrest.nyc

To get in the habit of posting on 🦋, this is one of the first Landsat images capturing the region around Rome (11 August 1972). Here's me looking at my current home from space, over 2 decades before I was born. Open data programmes are an extraordinary treasure.

Our microclimate in San Francisco Bay Area is sensitive to the Pacific fog. You know they say the fog enters through the Golden Bay Bridge and goes right to North Berkeley? Occasionally satellite images capture this precise moment. #Landsat

Today I got to present with the team at #Snowflake about using their platform with #QGIS and data from #Wherobots. Here is how I did it!
