What do you need to know about Google Earth Engine?
To convince you, visit the Earth Engine Data Catalog and explore datasets using the search bar or browsing by tag. Let’s say that we need to know the elevation of a region, some soil properties (e.g. clay, sand, silt content) and some meteorological observations (e.g. temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration).
How big is the Google Earth Engine API?
It contains over forty petabytes of geospatial data instantly available for analysis. The Earth Engine API is available in Python and JavaScript, making it easy to harness the power of Google’s cloud for your own geospatial analysis.
How does Google Earth Engine help Global Forest Watch?
Google Earth Engine has made it possible for the first time in history to rapidly and accurately process vast amounts of satellite imagery, identifying where and when tree cover change has occurred at high resolution. Global Forest Watch would not exist without it.
How are pixels excluded from computation in Google Earth Engine?
Pixels equal to zero in the mask are excluded from computations and the opacity is set to 0 for display. The following example uses an NDWI threshold (see the Relational Operations section for information on thresholds) to update the mask on the NDWI layer created previously:

MY COURSE IS A HANDS ON TRAINING WITH REAL REMOTE SENSING AND GIS DATA ANALYSIS WITH GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE- A planetary-scale platform for Earth science data & analysis; powered by Google’s cloud infrastructure. !
Is there a cookbook for Google Earth Engine?
In this tutorial, we will introduce several types of geospatial data, and enumerate key Earth Engine functions for analyzing and visualizing them. This cookbook was originally created as a workshop during Yale-NUS Data 2.0 hackathon, and later updated for Yale GIS Day 2018 and 2019.
What kind of data can you use for Google Earth?
In this course, actual satellite remote sensing data such as Landsat from USGS and radar data from JAXA will be used to give a practical hands-on experience of working with remote sensing and understanding what kind of questions remote sensing can help us answer.
What do containers do in Google Earth Engine?
A container object (usually in the form ee.SomeVariableType) is used to wrap a native JavaScript object so that Google’s servers can perform operations on it. The print operation is also useful for printing data and getting debugging info.
