In @geobon.org BON in a Box, a pipeline was working for every country except Austria. It turns out it's an issue created by the Jungholz region being connected to the rest of Austria by a single point, on top of a mountain. A topolitical (?) situation leading to an interesting technical challenge.

Discovery of the day. A bounding box over Antarctica on the new @maplibre.org globe looks like a Pokemon ball.

I never know what to answer to this when working on my own projects.

Spending a very stimulating week at @esa.int in Frascati, Italy for the #biospace25 conference, focused on observing biodiversity from space. I'm here thanks to @biodiversite-quebec.ca to learn about EO solutions for biodiversity, and working with @geobon.org colleagues to showcase BON in a Box.

I'm really liking the @maplibre.org globe projection view. When combined with Titiler and COGs in our STAC catalog, we can finally visualize custom layers without the distortions created by the Mercator projection. Performance is A+ as well!

First post on #bluesky is of the view just before landing in Cali for #cop16Colombia. The sky is always blue above the clouds.
