Introduction to Geospatial Technologies

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that enables the processing of massive geospatial datasets—particularly satellite imagery—with remarkable speed and scale. It gives users access to global image archives and analytical tools that were once limited to large research institutions or governments.
What makes GEE transformative is its ability to quickly perform spatial analyses over time and space. From tracking deforestation and urban sprawl to monitoring drought conditions or vegetation changes, it allows anyone to process and visualize data that reflects real-world dynamics on Earth.
ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, introduces a new layer of accessibility by letting users interact with this geospatial data using natural language. Instead of writing lines of code, users can ask complex questions—like “Where has vegetation declined over the last five years in this region?”—and receive intelligent, contextual responses that trigger real data analyses in the background.
Together, GEE and ChatGPT democratize advanced geospatial analytics. Whether you’re working in environmental science, urban development, disaster response, or land management, this combination of tools allows you to make data-driven decisions faster, more clearly, and more collaboratively than ever before.
In this course, you’ll learn how to harness both platforms to transform raw satellite imagery into meaningful insights—without needing to be a programmer.
What will you learn
Working with satellite data might seem complex, but this course makes it easy, fast, and practical. You’ll learn how to combine Google Earth Engine with the power of ChatGPT to explore and analyze environmental data—using simple language instead of code.
From the start, you’ll learn how to:
- Access and filter satellite imagery using Google Earth Engine
- Use ChatGPT to guide your workflow by asking natural language questions
- Classify land cover, detect vegetation change, and monitor environmental trends
- Visualize results through clear maps and graphics
Whether you’re an environmental researcher, a city planner, a student, or just curious about geospatial tech, this course gives you real, ready-to-use skills in just one day. You’ll work with real satellite data, solve realistic challenges, and build a repeatable workflow you can use again and again.
By the end, you’ll know how to transform raw Earth observation data into powerful, decision-ready insights—no programming experience needed.
