Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud computing platform with a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets. It enables to analysis and visualizes changes on the Earth’s surface using python API,


Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud computing platform with a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets
With the new geemap Python package GEE users can easily manipulate, analyze, and visualize geospatial big data interactively in a Jupyter-based environment.

The topics will be covered in this lecture include:
(1) Brief introduction satellite imagery,
(2)introducing the Earth Engine Python API and the new geemap Python package.
(2) searching GEE data catalog .
(3) displaying GEE datasets.
(4) classifying images using machine learning algorithms.
(5) Finding the greenest place in Israel in terms amount of vegetation.
