What is Google Earth Engine (GEE)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that delivers a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery<\/strong> for planetary-scale analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do you gain access to remote sensing data from satellites, airborne, digital elevation models, and more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can also turn this geospatial data into actionable insights<\/strong> through the platform’s fast computations and 1000+ types of operators for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, do you really want to know the best part? If you want to use it for research, education, or nonprofit use, then it’s completely free to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, you\u2019ll learn about the Google Earth Engine platform<\/a> and explore how to use it for data exploration and analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
