Roadmap

This roadmap reflects near-term development priorities plus longer-term ambitions for CubeDynamics.

Near term

  • Stabilize loaders – polish load_prism_cube, load_gridmet_cube, and load_sentinel2_ndvi_cube with clearer AOI validation and chunk hints.
  • Reference verbs – fill out stats/transform IO docs and ensure every helper has an example in the new reference/ section.
  • Sentinel-2 notebooks – keep the NDVI z-score tutorial in sync with the docs, including Lexcube screenshots and Binder links.
  • Correlation cubes – graduate v.correlation_cube and rolling correlation verbs from stubs to tested implementations.

Mid term

  • IO expansion – add v.to_zarr/v.to_geotiff exporters plus metadata helpers for catalog integration.
  • Visualization palette – expose more QA plot verbs (quick_map, hist_over_time) using the new color scheme.
  • Model verbs – prototype cube-aware regression/classification verbs that emit predictions in cube form.

Long term

  • Catalog integration – connect to ESDC, Open Data Cube, and DeepESDL catalogs so users can pull remote cubes via a unified interface.
  • Storage backends – optional local stores (Zarr + Parquet metadata) for caching repeated AOI requests.
  • Community examples – curated gallery of climate–vegetation analyses contributed by the community.
