QGIS & Google Earth Engine for Environmental & Land Applications

This course is designed to take users who use GIS for basic geospatial data/GIS/Remote Sensing analysis to perform environmental analysis (land degradation monitoring, floods mapping, land cover change monitoring, land productivity, etc) with Big Data on the cloud using both QGIS capabilities and Google Earth Engine! The course will also focus on introducing you to sustainable development goals (SDG) indicators computation using the TrendsEarth plugin in QGIS. I will also introduce you to user-intuitive cloud computing using EO-browser!

This course provides you with all the necessary knowledge to start and advance your skills with Geospatial analysis and includes more than 5 hours of video content, plenty of practical analysis, and downloadable materials. After taking this course, you will be able to implement PRACTICAL, real-life spatial geospatial analysis for environmental applications, and tasks with the Big Data on the cloud and in QGIS.

This course is designed to equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of applied geospatial analysis, namely Remote Sensing and some Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This course emphasizes the importance of understanding:

- Foundation of Remote Sensing in open-source tools (QGIS, Google Earth Engine)

- Basics of JavaScript for geospatial analysis on Google Earth Engine cloud platform

- Working with the open-source GIS software & tools (QGIS, Google Earth Engine, Trends. Earth, Semi-Automated classification Plugin)

- Learning how to conduct GIS / Remote Sensing analysis for environmental applications (such as land degradation monitoring, floods mapping, land cover change monitoring, and so on)

By the end of the course, you will feel confident and completely understand the basics of Remote Sensing & JavaScript for spatial analysis inQGIS and EarthEngine. You will learn to implement the practical environmental application on Google Earth Engine cloud with Big Data and in QGIS with Trends. Earth plugin. This course will also prepare you for using geospatial analysis with open source and free software tools.

One important part of the course is the practical exercises. You will be given some precise instructions, codes, and datasets to create for geospatial analysis in Google Earth Engine.
