| Content | Satellite imagery and remotely sensed climate data constitute the foundation of our current understanding of environmental change, as they allow us to directly witness the consequences of human activity on our planet at a global scale. Google Earth Engine is a cost-free, cloud computing platform developed by Google that grants direct access to a large data catalog, which includes the latest satellite images from space agencies such as ESA and NASA as well as other curated geospatial datasets and allows for planetary-scale data visualization and analysis. This course will teach the basics of accessing, visualising and analysing satellite imagery using Google Earth Engine. Additionally, the course will guide participants through the process of creating land cover time series information from satellite data for the purpose of detecting and quantifying changes on the Earth's surface over time. |
