Raster analysis is central to the work done in Geo domains, but every domain (from finance to healthcare) has a Geo component. It helps to bridge the gap between domains in order to connect the dots to leverage spatial analysis tools to solve common problems across domains. Through use cases and example notebooks, this talk will showcase how to use and scale spatial analysis libraries such as Xarray-Spatial, and how users from different domains can use geospatial analysis to solve interesting problems and answer important questions.
