Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that enables working with large-scale earth observation datasets effectively. The 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. This workshop is ideal for QGIS users who want to leverage cloud-based datasets in their geospatial workflows.

Course Reviews
The ‘Cloud to Desktop: Working with Earth Engine Data in QGIS‘ was exceptionally interesting. I hadn’t worked with models before, and the class flowed very well. I was able to build my own model, and when a different kind of challenge emerged, we could tackle it through critical thinking. I appreciated the ability to dive deep to solve a problem. In short, I find the level of instruction excellent and the teaching method superb as well.
