Dask-GeoPandas is a project merging the geospatial capabilities of GeoPandas and
scalability of Dask. GeoPandas is an open source project designed to make
working with geospatial data in Python easier. GeoPandas extends the datatypes
used by pandas to allow spatial operations on geometric types. Dask provides
advanced parallelism and distributed out-of-core computation with a
dask.dataframe module designed to scale pandas. Since GeoPandas is an extension
to the pandas DataFrame, the same way Dask scales pandas can also be applied to
GeoPandas.

This project is a bridge between Dask and GeoPandas and offers geospatial
capabilities of GeoPandas backed by Dask.
