Go to Workshop Cloud-Based Geospatial Analysis using Google Earth Engine

Overview: The Yale Center for Earth Observation is offering an introductory workshop on satellite-based remote sensing.  This workshop will introduce the basic concepts of remote sensing including the electromagnetic spectrum, characteristics of selected major sensor systems, components of a satellite image, and a description of spectral, spatial and temporal resolution.

Students will use Google Earth Engine and cloud-based data to compare and contrast various types of data across time and space and will be introduced to basic image manipulation techniques.
