Wrapper to calculate distance to shapely geometry (defined in latitude-longitude space) for a series of points.

Parameters:

• lat (float) – Latitude of query point in degrees

• lon (float) – Longitude of query point in degrees

• geom (shapely geometry) – A shapely geometry whose points are in latitude-longitude space

Returns:

dist (float) – The minimum distance in kilometres between the polygon and the query point.
