DESCRIPTION:

In the era of big data, researchers now have access to worldwide datasets from NASA and other research entities. Many datasets have been made accessible from Google Earth Engine (GEE), but the native tools for working with GEE require workflows that are less reproducible, less familiar to most natural resources programmers, and not easily integrated into larger programming projects. This course will focus on bringing GEE datasets into a Python workflow to more easily integrate the data acquisition process into geospatial analysis projects in a reproducible manner, on any operating system, using open-source software. This course will model how to set up a geospatial analysis project workflow that can serve as a template for future projects. We will learn common geospatial data types and programming control flow techniques, how to download and save geospatial data from GEE, how to convert between formats, and how to use Python modules to enhance or speed up geospatial analysis techniques commonly employed manually in other software packages.

PREREQUISITES:

Basic experience with GIS; basic experience in Python (e.g., from CWS’ Python Boot Camp); and a Google Earth Engine account.

DATES:

Learn at your own pace with instructor support.
