Master GDAL CLI

This course introduces practical, command-line workflows for preparing raster data for analysis and cloud deployment using GDAL. You will build foundational skills in inspecting raster metadata, making informed reprojection decisions, and optimizing elevation datasets for cloud-based access using Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). Through guided explanations, hands-on labs, and scenario-based reflection activities, you will explore how projection choice, resolution, resampling methods, internal tiling, compression, and overviews affect raster accuracy and performance. The course emphasizes inte…
