Google Earth Engine Basics – Blended Learning
Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that makes it easy to analyze and visualize geospatial data. With access to a vast library of satellite imagery and spatial datasets, you can track environmental change, monitor land use, and run advanced analyses—without the need for powerful local hardware. Its built-in cloud computing allows you to process large datasets and perform tasks ranging from time-series analysis to machine learning classification.
GEE is widely used in fields like environmental monitoring, agriculture, and urban planning. From mapping deforestation and tracking water resources to monitoring crop health and planning sustainable cities, Earth Engine is a tool trusted by researchers, policymakers, and businesses worldwide.
What will you learn in this blended learning course?
This Google Earth Engine Basics course introduces you to the core functions of GEE and shows you how to turn satellite data into practical insights. You’ll gain hands-on experience in:
-
Accessing and visualizing satellite imagery
-
Detecting land use and environmental changes
-
Applying basic remote sensing techniques such as NDVI
-
Running introductory machine learning tools like classification
-
Automating workflows with GEE scripting
Assignments are based on real-world case studies in environmental science, agriculture, and urban planning, so you immediately see how your skills apply in practice.
Why choose this blended learning format?
Blended learning gives you both live interaction and self-paced flexibility, helping you build job-ready skills step by step:
-
Live kick-off session – Work directly with real datasets, guided by expert instructors, and learn the basics of processing and visualizing spatial data.
-
Self-paced modules – Dive deeper into topics like remote sensing, change detection, and automation at your own pace.
-
Final live session – Apply your new skills to case studies, get feedback, and refine your approach to real analysis problems.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently work with satellite data in Google Earth Engine, process and visualize spatial patterns, and start building automated workflows.
