Google Earth Engine is a cloud based geospatial remote sensing processing platform, complete with an extensive public data catalog. It is available via a web-based JavaScript Application Program Interface (API) called the Code Editor. This platform is where users can write and execute scripts to share and repeat geospatial analysis and processing workflows, such as land cover mapping. In this two-day training session you will be introduced to and practice working in the Earth Engine Code Editor platform, explore some basic programming concepts, and learn about Earth Engine data structures and methods, functions, and algorithms. The course will be structured with presentations and demonstrations to introduce material, followed by hands on exercises that participants complete individually or in small groups.
