Keenan Ganz will talk about converting an archive of radar imagery from a legacy storage format (NetCDF) to a cloud-optimized format (Zarr). This will be a 201-level follow-up to last month’s talk about cloud-native geospatial, with more details on chunking, I/O rates, and of course, dead trees.

Dusty Pilkington will present VoterMap, an all-in-one map interface for accessing voter information.
