I. What is GeoPandas?

GeoPandas is an open source python project aimed at making geospatial data easier to work with. It’s essentially an extension of the Pandas library for data analysis, and provides a user-friendly interface for manipulating and plotting geospatial data (source: https://geopandas.org/).
