We're pleased to announce our June 2022 release! This release includes improvements to the data catalog and Explorer user interface, support for bulk queries with GeoParquet, and several new datasets. Feel free to post comments and questions in the thread below.

Highlights

  • The Catalog and Explorer interfaces have been redesigned to accommodate the increased number of datasets available in the Planetary Computer.
  • The entire website, including the Explorer, Catalog, and Documentation pages, have all been updated to work well on most mobile devices.
  • We now provide snapshots of our STAC items for most of our collections as GeoParquet datasets to support bulk STAC queries.

Bulk STAC queries with GeoParquet

Many of our collections now include a geoparquet-items collection-level asset that links to a GeoParquet dataset in Azure Blob Storage. Each row in these Parquet datasets is a STAC item. While most users should continue to use the normal STAC API, these Parquet datasets are a nice complement for workloads that need to return very many STAC items.

See Bulk STAC item queries with GeoParquet for more. Discuss this on the GeoParquet board.

New datasets

This release includes several new datasets in our STAC API. Each of these links to the dataset details page, which includes an example notebook.

Discuss this in the release thread.
