# Python Gis Ecosystem

## When to Use This Skill

- Load and manipulate vector data (wells, pipelines, lease blocks)
- Reproject datasets between coordinate systems
- Process raster data (bathymetry, metocean grids, satellite scenes)
- Spatial joins and buffering in Python without QGIS GUI
- Create interactive web maps (Folium) or static plots (Cartopy)
- Process NetCDF metocean or oceanographic datasets (xarray/rioxarray)
- Property valuation spatial analysis (WRK-022 context)
