GEE platform provides the agile tool for data analysis as well as the data catalog. The data catalog consists of different free geospatial data, including satellite imageries (optical and radar), information about climate (temperature, precipitation and so on), relief (digital elevation models), land cover maps and variety socio-economic variables.
The webinar is aimed to explain a basic, practical understanding of remote sensing data application in order to research climate change and its consequences. During this webinar participants will learn how to search for different spatial data, fulfill analysis, visualize and interpret the results.
