mapping and analysis of geospatial big data using geemap and Google Earth Engine

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.
