Google Earth Engine

Google Earth Engine is an environmental watch program where everybody can participate. Disaster response, global food security and water availability, renewable energy, and other common challenges to the only home we have – Earth – could be tackle as Google Earth Engine brings together the world’s satellite imagery—trillions of scientific measurements dating back more than 25 years—and makes it available online with tools for scientists, independent researchers, and nations to mine this massive warehouse of data to detect changes, map trends and quantify differences to the earth’s surface. It is a planetary-scale platform for environmental data & analysis!
