Our latest deep-dive series is live now on the blog! 🗞️💡 Check out Chunks and Chunkability (parts one and two) now.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged in cloud native geospatial that data formats must be chunked."

New blog. Now I have a robust way of loading my Garmin tracks and activities into #PostGIS - I connect kepler.gl to it to visualise the data in a Jupyter Lab widget. This is a simple guide.

A breath of fresh data: Sentinel-4 innovates for clean air
From its vantage point outside Earth's atmosphere, more than 36,000 km above Earth's surface, the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission will detect major air pollutants over Europe in unprecedented detail. It will observe how they vary on an hourly basis—a real breakthrough for air quality forecasting.

The bayesEO package provides a Bayesian approach to post-processing ML-generated images. It refines class probabilities, removes outliers, and improves labeling for more accurate classification.
