This workshop will give you hands-on experience using new Google Earth Engine Plugin for QGIS to combine their deskto-based geospatial workflows with cloud-based datasets.
Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based platform that enables working with large-scale earth observation datasets effectively. The new Google Earth Engine Plugin for QGIS brings this power to the desktop and enables QGIS users to combine their geospatial workflows with cloud-based datasets. The workshop will cover the following topics
- Installing and setting up the Google Earth Engine Plugin for QGIS
- Exploring the Google Earth Engine data catalog
- Streaming images from GEE
- Downloading images from GEE
- Creating a Processing Model to use data from GEE Data Catalog.
- Creating Maps with QGIS Print Layout
