ENVM 677 - Intro to Google Earth Engine

Unit(s): 2

This class introduces students to the science of Remote Sensing utilizing cloud-based analytical technology Google Earth Engine (GEE), a planetary-scale platform for environmental data analysis. Current applications covered include detecting deforestation, classifying land cover and land cover change, estimating forest biomass and carbon, and mapping the world’s roadless areas. The lab section offers hands-on experience using GEE to complete a series of real-world environmental remote sensing projects. Students also develop an integrative class project that encompasses remote sensed data inputs, processing and analyses directed towards an environmental scientific investigation. No prior programming experience is required.
