Wrangling GeoTIFFs in the browser
summary
Shows running full GeoTIFF decode and analysis entirely in the browser using geotiff.js, georaster/plotty, geoblaze and gpu.js plus d3 for contours. Demonstrations include real‑time color ramps and clamping, on‑the‑fly contouring and iso‑bands, per‑polygon statistics over climate projections and raster algebra to compute wet‑bulb temperature, and an overview of ~330,000 bushfire runs that load individual GeoTIFFs on demand. Works but is limited by download size, decoding CPU/GPU cost, caching and need for COGs or tiling.
