This subcategory is for geo-related discussions. This includes using Julia in geosciences, or dealing with geospatial data.

Besides using Julia for the above, the development of an ecosystem of packages that allow typical geospatial processing workflows is also discussed.

### Organisations

- [JuliaGeo](https://github.com/JuliaGeo) - geospatial
- [JuliaEarth](https://github.com/JuliaEarth) - Earth science
- [JuliaClimate](https://github.com/JuliaClimate) - climate and ocean science
