This workshop, presented by Stace Maples, is designed to introduce complete beginners to the Google Earth Engine platform. It is geared toward those who would like to analyze satellite and vector data without access to computing resources typically required for that work on local computers. The session is hands-on, using the Earth Engine Javascript code editor.

The first part of the class will provide an overview of the Google Earth Engine Platform and Remote Sensing, in general. The second half will focus on accessing imagery, creating composites, and running analyses over stacks of images, computing statistics on imagery, creating charts and exporting the results of analyses.

Prerequisites for the workshop include a willingness to learn programming, though no previous experience with Earth Engine or JavaScript is necessary. Participants with no programming experience will require additional attention. Basic knowledge of remote sensing and/or GIS is highly desirable.

This workshop is a production of the Stanford Geospatial Center, The Stanford Maps Library and The Branner Earth Sciences Library. It is only available to Stanford University affiliates, and the recording is provided without access to Google Earth Engine.
