Google Cloud Fundamentals

How can you get more out of geospatial data with Google Cloud? In this one-on-one blended learning course, you’ll discover how to use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to efficiently manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data. Through online lessons and hands-on sessions, you’ll learn the basics of cloud computing and apply them directly to geospatial workflows.

Google Cloud Fundamentals

Google Cloud is a powerful solution for processing and storing large datasets. In the geospatial sector, it provides professionals with the tools to efficiently manage and analyze geodata, making complex processes faster and requiring less technical infrastructure.

With Google Cloud, you can securely store geospatial data while gaining access to advanced tools such as BigQuery and Google Earth Engine. This allows you to process and analyze massive datasets at unprecedented speeds, which is essential for geo-ICT.

In addition, Google Cloud offers various services for geospatial processes, ranging from storage and processing to advanced analytics. This allows you to carry out large-scale geodata projects not only faster but also more efficiently.
