The AppEEARS QGIS Plugin enables further exploration of geospatial data by allowing users to browse previously completed requests from the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) and load cloud-optimized GeoTIFF output files directly into QGIS without downloading the files locally. Currently, the plugin only works on Windows because it uses features requiring Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) >= 3.7.
