This half a day virtual workshop, organized by the OSUN's GeoHUB project, aims to provide an overview of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and hands-on examples on data search and visualization.
GEE is a cloud-based platform, which provides access to multiple repositories of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets allowing quick and accurate analysis and visualization of large datasets available in the cloud. 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, etc), relief (digital elevation models), land cover maps, and a variety of socio-economic variables.
During this workshop, we will demonstrate how to work with the GEE Data Catalog by using Landsat-8 imagery. We will search for Landsat-8 images for a particular area and different dates, filter clouds and use spectral bands for visualization.
No prior GEE knowledge is required. For hands-on training you need an account in GEE.
The online training is open to all students and faculty affiliated with the OSUN partner institutions. The places are limited and prior registration is required.
