geospatial-analysis

separate

Analyze geospatial data using geopandas with proper coordinate projections. Use when calculating distances between geographic features, performing spatial filtering, or working with plate boundaries and earthquake data.

When to use

• calculating distances between geographic features
• performing spatial filtering
• working with plate boundaries
• working with earthquake data
• projecting to metric coordinate systems
• finding points within polygons
• calculating point to line distance

When not to use

• Haversine distance formulas (use geopandas projections instead)
• Point-in-polygon checks (use `.within()`)
• Iterating through boundary points (use `.distance()` with `.unary_union`)
