Google redefined satellite imagery for personal users with the release Google Earth. Participants only need Google Chrome web browser and a stable internet connection. Satellite images from Google Earth are usually no more than three years old. Google Earth Engine is run in the cloud, so no software downloads are necessary. Complete Javascript 101 module prior to first day of class (15 - 30 minutes, more info in email).Clone class repository into your account (more info in email).Register in advance for free GEE account at.Step-by-step tutorials will be sent via email to participants the week before class. Willingness to learn some coding is required. No previous experience with Earth Engine or Javascript is necessary, but some basic programming experience and basic knowledge of remote sensing and/or GIS are highly desirable.

This workshop will loosely follow the material at. In this introductory workshop we will use Google Earth Engine Javascript API to make maps using satellite images, perform calculations, and plot results. There are usually many weeks or possibly even years between the tim. The traditional satellites that can take high-resolution pictures where you could recognize your house can only see a tiny part of the earth every day. Previously, remote sensing required downloading huge datasets and high computing power to process the data, but Google Earth Engine takes care of that by storing and processing 50+ years of earth observation data on Google’s servers. Answer (1 of 8): There is no high-resolution real-time imagery of the world. Using a few lines of simple code, you can access images for a region, display a map, look for temporal or spatial trends, export data and statistics, and much more. Google Earth Engine (not to be confused with Google Earth) allows anyone to access and process satellite imagery quickly and easily.
