DESCRIPTION:Monitoring forest cover change\, wildfire risk\, and post-fire 
 recovery demands integrating heterogeneous data sources (i.e. satellite im
 agery\, field observations\, weather feeds\, and alert systems) into a sha
 red operational picture. Yet existing tools force a choice: either powerfu
 l but expensive proprietary platforms\, or open-source solutions that requ
 ire significant server infrastructure and maintenance.\n\nThis workshop in
 troduces Driades\, an open-source\, self-hosted geospatial tool developed 
 by h4ck1ng.science that runs entirely in the browser with no backend serve
 r. By leveraging cloud-native formats (Zarr\, GeoParquet\, and PMTiles amo
 ng others) served directly from S3-compatible object storage\, Driades ena
 bles users to visualise satellite imagery\, execute spatial SQL queries vi
 a WASM\, and run basic transformations using WebGPU. Heavy computational t
 asks (such as machine learning inference for burn scar detection) can be o
 ffloaded to remote APIs\, keeping the client lightweight while providing a
 ccess to geospatial foundation models hosted on model registries like Hugg
 ing Face.\n\nDriades aims to reduce the friction of accessing and sharing 
 geospatial data\, providing non-experts with a simple interface to explore
 \, annotate\, and distribute interactive results among collaborators witho
 ut requiring specialised infrastructure.
