This one-day introductory webinar introduces Google Earth Engine and guides participants through the process to map changes in land cover. Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based geospatial processing platform for executing large-scale environmental data analysis, such as detecting deforestation or fire mapping. Users can access Earth Engine in one of two platforms, the point and click interface called Explorer or the scripting interface called Code Editor. During this session, we will be working with Explorer, the point and click interface. At the end of the session, you’ll learn and practice how to access public data, conduct a simple spatial analysis, save and share your workspace, and export results.
