Introduction to Google Earth Engine and Vegetation Detection

This workshop is for beginner Google Earth Engine users. It introduces the Google Earth Engine applied programming interface (JavaScript version) and basic indicators of vegetation cover and its change from remote sensing imagery.

Participants will learn how to find and display digital remote sensing imagery in the Google Earth Engine environment, how to create and save code in Earth Engine, and how to manipulate relevant imagery to highlight areas with different presence of vegetation cover.

Prerequisites: None. This is a beginner-level workshop; however, existing users of Google Earth Engine who are new to the topic of vegetation detection are very welcome.

Fee: Free for UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff. $150 for non-UC affiliates.
