In the dynamic field of geospatial technology, the evolution of data formats plays a pivotal role in shaping how we interact with and interpret spatial information. The advent of GeoParquet has marked a significant milestone, offering a more efficient and accessible way to handle large spatial datasets. This blog post delves into a comprehensive exploration […]
Yes, (another) file format is the most important new development tool for the modern GIS stack in 2022. There is a ton of hype around tools, processes, and methods for making geospatial analysis faster and at scale, but what if the data (in this case vector data) was better formatted for different query performance both […]
Spatial data science has been one of the fastest-growing career paths in modern GIS in the past few years. The combination of the boom in the data science path, proliferation and popularity of Python, and demand for more flexible/technical roles in data science and analytics have spilled over into modern GIS. Yet spatial data science […]
GIS Analysts serve the incredibly important purpose of providing detailed analysis and flexible results working with a wide range of data and tools. Not only do GIS Analysts work with many different stakeholder groups, but they also have to maintain a flexible workflow and use a wide range of data, delivering easy to use and […]
The GIS we use and practice today is fundamentally different from the GIS we used previously. In the past, I have written about the need to define geospatial as a practice, and yet again I think it is time to define another term in our space. Modern GIS is something that is starting to take […]
