Welcome to Google Earth Engine
Google Earth Engine is a geospatial processing service. With Earth Engine, you can perform geospatial processing at scale, powered by Google Cloud Platform. The purpose of Earth Engine is to:
- Provide an interactive platform for geospatial algorithm development at scale
- Enable high-impact, data-driven science
- Make substantive progress on global challenges that involve large geospatial datasets
About Google Earth Engine
Earth Engine is a public data catalog, compute infrastructure, geospatial APIs and an interactive app server.
Datasets
Petabyte-scale catalog of public and free-to-use geospatial datasets.
Compute
Leverage Google's cloud platform for planetary-scale analysis of Earth science data.
APIs
Full-featured JavaScript, Python and REST APIs.
Apps
Dynamic, publicly accessible user interfaces for Earth Engine analyses.
How to use Google Earth Engine
Connect to the Earth Engine service through one of the APIs. Client libraries for JavaScript and Python translate complex geospatial analyses to Earth Engine requests. Or connect directly to Earth Engine servers using the REST API.
