Intro to Google Earth Engine for Planetary-Scale Environmental

Series: NextGen Geospatial: AI & Cloud tools for Geographic Analysis

NextGen Geospatial

When

2 – 3 p.m., Sept. 10, 2024

Where

Weaver Science-Engineering Library Room 212 & Zoom

Join us as we introduce Google Earth Engine, a revolutionary cloud-based platform for planetary-scale environmental data analysis. This workshop will show you how to access the platform, the basics of how to navigate the software, and tips for leveraging the massive data catalog. We will show you code examples, app examples, and point you to resources on how to learn more about the powerful tool. This is a must-know tool for geospatial data analysts!

This session is part of the NextGen Geospatial workshop series that teaches cutting-edge topics around GIS and remote sensing. Each workshop session is designed to be a discrete lesson where students will walk away with specific knowledge on a tool and resources to explore deeper. Our goal is to demystify vocabulary and show you how to use these tools with straight forward examples. 

We welcome students and professionals from any field that are interested in expanding their geospatial skillset. A variety of skill levels are also welcome, though each lesson will assume the audience has limited experience on the topic. Basic knowledge of scripting languages (mostly python) and some prior geospatial experience will be helpful. Some of the lessons will include gentle live coding, but the focus will be on the big picture of what the code is doing. Jupyter notebooks with pre-written python code will be provided for these lessons.
