Interested in monitoring ecosystem changes? Join us at GIC’s “Introduction to Google Earth Engine” Workshop! Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based platform that allows users to perform geospatial analysis using petabyte-scale remote sensing datasets.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• use Earth Engine’s JavaScript-based code editor 
• understand different types of datasets available on Earth Engine and know how to use them in your project 
• select, clip, and visualize raster data at specific time and locations 
• apply geospatial processing functions 
• detect and quantify changes happening on Earth’s surface such as deforestation, flooding, drought, land cover change, etc. 
• plot time series   

Prerequisites: none. However, please  register an Earth Engine account in advance, so you can use the code editor during the workshop. 

The workshop takes about 2.5 hours and will be taking place in-person in Burnside BH511. The instructor will be Luci Lu.
