Topic outline

  • Introduction

    This course will introduce you to Google Earth Engine (GEE). Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based platform that enables large-scale processing of satellite imagery to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth’s surface. In Module 1 you'll get an overview of GEE Code Editor interface and you'll learn the basics of JavaScript, the programming language that is used in the GEE Code Editor. In Module 2 you're going to work with some scripts to give you an idea of the power of GEE. Module 3 introduces the Filter, Map and Reduce concepts. In Module 4 you'll learn how to derive spectral indices from remote sensing data. Module 5 covers supervised image classification. The course ends with building and publishing an app for end users in Module 6.
