Pixels 101: Onboarding with Google Earth Engine and Planet.com @ Stanford

​Satellite imagery is data, and you can work with it. In this in-person workshop, Stace Maples of the Stanford Geospatial Center shows you how to get started with Earth observation data and tools.

​What we will cover

• ​A Tiny Introduction to Remote Sensing: what makes data spatial, how vector and raster data differ, and how pixels in satellite imagery store measurements of the Earth's surface

• ​Account setup: we add you to the Geospatial Center's Earth Engine Google Cloud organization and help you register your project as non-commercial

• ​A quick introduction to the Earth Engine Code Editor

• ​A demo of the Earth Engine Python API in a notebook

• ​Planet.com: we use results from the notebook demo to learn how to search Planet's satellite imagery

• ​When to use Earth Engine, when to use Planet, and how they work together

​No GIS, remote sensing, or spatial data experience is required. Bring a laptop to follow along.

​Who should attend: Stanford students, faculty, researchers, and staff, including GreenAI Hackathon participants.
