GeoParquet is an emerging, cloud-native geospatial format built on Apache Parquet that enables scalable, high-performance access to spatial data. This presentation introduces what GeoParquet is and why its columnar design supports efficient workflows through column pruning, partial reads, and spatially partitioned data access. Using transportation datasets as examples, the talk demonstrates how GeoParquet was tested and consumed using Python, integrated into APIs and analytical scripts, and shared directly from cloud storage. The session highlights GeoParquet support in Esri and QGIS and provides guidance on where the format is most effective, where it is a poor fit, and how it can be incorporated alongside existing GIS workflows.
