# GBIF Maps

GBIF Occurrence Maps in [Mapbox Vector Tile](https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/) (MVT) format and as PNGs.

- Processing from HBase or Parquet files into the tile pyramid, stored in HBase
- Rendering in Mapbox vector tile (MVT) format from HBase or SOLR data sources
- Mapnik as an optional view to convert MVTs into PNGs
- Hexagon binning views
- Fast disaster recovery and batch processing
- Year resolution time series data
