[ANN] GeoStats.jl - Geospatial Data Science and Geostatistical Modeling in Julia

[juliohm]

Quick update:

We are now using uv texture mapping in Makie.jl to visualize “rasters”, which gives an additional 2.5x speedup. If you need this speed, please update your environment.

If you want faster upsampling, look into NNlib. The julia native bilinear upsampling there is parallelized for cpu and gpu and supports 1, 2 & 3D data and is as fast as it can probably get.

[ANN] GeoArtifacts.jl

GeoArtifacts.jl v1.1 This release comes with a complete refactor of the internals to benefit from the various repairs of geometries implemented in GeoIO.jl. The NaturalEarth submodule is very comprehensive now, allowing users to download all sorts of datasets with clean syntax. Below is an example where we create a 3D visualization with a “raster” of the Earth, country borders, airports and water ports: using GeoStats using GeoArtifacts import GLMakie as Mke # download artifacts from natura…

"Raster" syntax in GeoStats.jl

Given that most people in the geo community are not aware of the “raster” syntax in GeoStats.jl, I collect a few examples here to facilitate the transition. This post may become part of the official project documentation in the future. The “raster” model A “raster” is nothing more than a Julia array that is georeferenced over a geospatial grid. The “raster” model is popular in the scientific community for two main reasons: it provides convenient syntax to access grid elements within “rectan…

Arpeggeo + Algora: funding contributors of the GeoStats.jl framework

At Arpeggeo® we are starting an experimental initiative to attract more contributors to the Julia community. In partnership with algora.io, we are introducing open-source bounties to the GeoStats.jl framework. If you are a freelancer, or just want to make some extra cash besides your main job, look for open issues with the Bounty label on the JuliaEarth organization on GitHub. Here is a first easy one to get used to the Algora workflow: The Algora founders gave us a 1 month trial to see if …

[GeodeticR]

I’m finishing a Masters in Geophysics that is in the geospatial realm (my research is in geodesy). Maybe by the end of my degree I’ll qualify as for being “proficient in high-performance programming languages” because as of now, I’m firmly between novice and adequate. lol

Good luck with the search!
