The aim of this course is to introduce Google Earth Engine platform to apply remote sensing techniques using openly available Earth Observation datasets. The course also teaches participants how to build water-related applications for state and country-wide analysis, mapping and monitoring. We cover applications for surface water mapping, trend analysis, landcover mapping, flood mapping, and drought monitoring.
The course will cover the following topics
- Module 1: Google Earth Engine Fundamentals
- Module 2: Surface Water Mapping
- Module 3: Precipitation Time Series Analysis
- Module 4: Land Use Land Cover Mapping
- Module 5: Flood Mapping
- Module 6: Drought Mapping
- Module 7: Earth Engine Apps

Course Reviews
I have been waiting to take a course like this ever since I started using Earth Engine. I found it easy to follow along, and the interactive nature of the course kept me engaged. You are provided with great resources and ideas through the course content, in supplementary scripts and through their main webpage. The instructors are personable and knowledgeable. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in using Earth Engine for their work, the skills are applicable to many other focuses outside of Water Resources Management as well.
Tachara Larocque, Environment and Parks, Alberta Government, Canada
As a global Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene professional, the skills learned in GEE for Water Resources Management will be essential to informing our teams about impacts on water security around the world. Though I have taken the End-to-End GEE course, I still learned new and valuable datasets and applications that are possible within Earth Engine for the sector. Another great class from Spatial Thoughts!
Zach Torres, Digital Monitoring & Mapping Project Manager, World Vision, United States
This is a must for everyone interested in taking their use of Google Earth Engine free access data for Water Resources Management to the next level! Great information, so many things that are shared during the classes and amazing expertise from the organizers.

Quite useful if you have already watched some of Spatial Thoughts videos and you already have been “playing around” with GEE, as well. Highly recommended.
