cod-kmap — Coastal Observatory Design Knowledge Map

A directory of coastal research facilities, people, funding, publications and datasets across the Americas. The interactive map is a JavaScript application (MapLibre GL + DuckDB-Wasm) and renders nothing without scripting — but every underlying document and data table is a plain static file you can fetch directly.

Every Parquet table is served at https://tyson-swetnam.github.io/cod-kmap/public/parquet/<table>.parquet over HTTP range requests, so DuckDB can query it remotely without downloading the file:

INSTALL httpfs; LOAD httpfs;
SELECT canonical_name, country, facility_type
FROM 'https://tyson-swetnam.github.io/cod-kmap/public/parquet/facilities.parquet'
LIMIT 10;
