Closer map view showing the top of Kleines Nebelhorn and the Birchgletscher showing a signifcant loss of material at the Northern side of the peak and over the glacier area. The side flanks of the glacier have not collapsed yet, with locally up to 36m of loose material. A small collapse is also evident on the Southern side of the Mountain.

Taking a closer look at the Peak of Kleines Nebelhorn and the collapsed Birchgletscher, the areas of elevation loss become quite evident, with a loss of up to 128 m for the mountain, and 51 m for the glacier.
Some areas show accumulated loose debris which likely poses a risk for further rock slides.

Map of the Lötschtal showing the area affected by the glacier collapse. Blue colors show lost elevation, red areas elevation gains. The two most notable areas are the collapsed peak of Kleines Nesthorn and the collapsed glacier which are shown in deep blue with elevation loss of up to 128m and 51m respectively. The material slid down the mountain in an approximately 400m wide path and accumulated in a 2,5km long area on the valley floor which is up to 32m thick. The newly formed lake above the village of Blatten is also drawn in. The Map text reads: Kleines Nesthorn and Birchgletscher collapse / Blatten im Lötschental (VS) On Wednesday, May 28th, a2025, the Birchgletscher glacier collapsed under the weight of rock and debris following the partial collapse of the Kleines Nesthorn. Approximately 10 million cubic meters of debris flowed into the valley, burying large parts of the villages of Blatten and Ried. The debris also blocked the Lonza River, forming a small lake that destroyed several more houses in Blatten. Analyis Using Oblique imagery collected and provided by swisstopo on May 30th, 2025, a photogrammetric DEM was created and compared to the swissALTI3D DEM. The following volume change was measured in the affected area: Above Volume (m³): 11.2 Mio Below Volume (m³): 10.1 Mio

I also derived a new elevation model from the aerial images, allowing me to visualize the elevation change in the affected areas.
The rocks and debris in the valley are locally up to 32m thick and I estimate the total displaced volume is about 11 million cubic meters. #Blatten

Writing geoparquet —- a one liner with geopandas github.com/swisstopo/to... reading a few lines github.com/swisstopo/to...

I have 2500 vector datasets as webresource , each of it consisting of 38 polygons/ multipoly . Offered as csv (with separate shp with geom) geojson and geoparquet. Getting the Value of a specific polygon: with geoparquet: streaming does not require a download. …Performance with less code in Python

STAC works perfectly with vector data, and with #cloudnative formats like geoparquet you get your serverless spatial infra . Example of cloudnative raster and vector item is swisstopo Earth. Observation data data.geo.admin.ch/browser/inde... - once you STAC, you never go back .

Promising initial results with the GeoParquet Downloader QGIS plug-in by @opencholmes.bsky.social. Many traditional GIS workflows can benefit from seamless desktop access to cloud-native data stores. This is GOOG/MSFT/OSM buildings from Source Cooperative in Leonardtown, MD.

Das limit is der GitHub action runner : 12GB auf dem home directory der Dir zur Verfügung steht. Wie schaffst Du es ein 40Gb pmtiles File herausstellen?

Sehr gut gemacht… eigentlich lässt sich damit ein ganzes geoportal mit x Datensätzen betreiben. Hast du schon Erfahrung mit Raster Daten gemacht?
