Description
Start with Google Earth Engine & Spatial Analysis #Beginners
This course is designed to take users who use GIS for basic geospatial data/GIS/Remote Sensing analysis to perform geospatial analysis tasks with Big Data on the cloud! This course provides you with all the necessary knowledge to start with Remote Sensing and Geospatial analysis in Google Earth Engine.
We will start with a thorough introduction to the Earth Engine Platform, then move to the basics of satellite image and image analysis (which is essential to understand when you would like to work with Earth Engine) and then move to a comprehensive overview of JavaScript basics for spatial analysis. We will cover essential blocks to equip you with the background knowledge and get you started with your analysis on the cloud.
Please, note: this is an introductory course with the main focus on Google Earth Engine. I do explain some basics of Remote Sensing, but it is not the main topic of this course.
By the end of the course, you will feel confident and understand the basics of JavaScript for spatial analysis with Big Data on Google Earth Engine cloud. This course will also prepare you for using geospatial analysis with open source and free software tools.
Who this course is for:
- Geographers, Programmers, geologists, biologists, social scientists, or every other expert who deals with GIS maps in their field

I am a passionate data scientist, Earth Observation (EO), and GIS expert and educator. I received my M.Sc. in Earth Observation and applied data science from the University of Southampton (United Kingdom) and I also hold a Ph.D. Degree in EO from Germany. I do regular teaching and training all over the world as well as do regularly consultancies on the mentioned topic. I have thousands of satisfied clients all over the world! And now I will be glad if I can teach also you these interesting, highly applied, and exciting topics!
For GIS & Remote Sensing students:
If you would like to learn comprehensively geospatial data analysis, here is a preferred order for how to take my courses:
