EOForestSTAC Documentation#

EOForestSTAC is an open-source Python package for cloud-native access to global forest Earth Observation datasets. It connects to a curated STAC catalog hosted on GFZ Ceph object storage and exposes all products as Zarr archives, readable on-demand via xarray. Spatial subsetting, temporal filtering, and multi-product alignment are available out of the box.

Explore the full catalog interactively at https://simonbesnard1.github.io/eoforeststac/.
