Success!!! First methane and CO2 plumes detected from Tanager-1's hyperspectral sensor! These are from Texas, Pakistan, and South Africa.

With this data, we aim to enhance accountability and enable climate action.

Thanks to our fantastic public-private partnership with @carbonmapper and @NASAJPL to deploy Tanager-1 and make this milestone possible.

I can't believe I survived without @DuckDB for so long.  Such an awesome piece of tech.  Feels indispensable already.

Thanks to @Jtmiclat, you can now configure the compression used when creating GeoParquet files. The default used to be ZSTD, but we've changed it to GZIP for greater compatibility with existing readers. Use the `--compression` option to chose your favorite codec.

The GPQ utility has a new home: https://t.co/3m1zvMTQu0. See https://t.co/XmYjSVN2Ao to create GeoParquet files right in your browser. The latest CLI release can also generate a validation report and describe a file's metadata and schema.

📢 Web mapping app developers! 🗺️🚀 XYZ tiling scheme has been the go-to for web mapping. OGC Tiles takes tiled map data to the next level. 🌍🔀 @tschaub introduced you to projections, zoom levels, and moving XYZ tile sets to OGC Tiles. https://t.co/N0PnLXYtDb

If you're wondering what happened to @openlayers, it looks like Twitter locked the account for being too young. But it has been spotted on https://t.co/zHrYra0HSw (where apparently they allow underage mapping libraries).

If anybody is working with #Parquet in #Golang and has thoughts on an API for the module, let me know.
