The GeoRasters package is a python module that provides a fast and flexible tool to work with GIS raster files. It provides the GeoRaster class, which makes working with rasters quite transparent and easy. In a way it tries to do for rasters what GeoPandas does for geometries.

It includes tools to

Merge rasters
Plot rasters
Extract information from rasters
Given a point (lat,lon) find its location in a raster
Aggregate rasters to lower resolutions
Align two rasters of different sizes to common area and size
Get all the geographical information of raster
Create GeoTiff files easily
Load GeoTiff files as masked numpy rasters
Clip raster using geometries
Get zonal statistics using geometries
Spatial analysis tools
