Sure. It should be as difficult as

`I = gmt("read -Ti file.tiff");`

if `file.tif`` is an image, or

`G = gmt("read -Tg file.tiff");`

if the file is a grid. Now, since the `I` type is only either 1 or 3 layers, for multi-layer files I would have to go to the GMT manual (not GMT.jl) to see how tha is done.  
But we have been (similar to) here before. See [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/grid-interpolation-of-data-from-polar-orbiting-satellites/10080/19)
