<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>Presented by Nick Grue</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The proliferation of geospatial analysis tools and methods means that no matter what your analysis goals, there are likely several options for running analysis, generating data, and visualizing your results. With a wide selection of tools
to choose from, you are also presented with the question of which tool is most useful, has highest performance and efficiency, and easiest to use for your case.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here at the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), we had the unique opportunity to start fresh with building a new analysis model, and had to decide which technologies would be most useful. We eventually ended up primarily using Python
for analysis, and PostGIS and Geoserver for visualization. Deciding on those tools took a fair amount of testing and comparison. This webinar will discuss the different tests we ran, our findings, and why some tools appeared to be better suited for our case
than others.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Analysis tools discussed in this webinar will include PostGIS vector analysis, PostGIS raster analysis, Python analysis of vector datasets, Python vectorized analysis of raster datasets, Python multiprocessing, and Geoserver visualization.</p>
