About This Course

Before learning how to process remote sensing images in the google earth engine, there is the need to first understand the fundamentals of Remote Sensing. 

This course is therefore going to introduce you to the fundamentals of remote sensing and its application areas. 

In this course, you will be introduced entirely to the Google Earth Engine JavaScript an open-source cloud platform.

Additionally, I will walk you through how to process and analyze Earth observation and geospatial data with GEE. All sample data and script will be provided to you throughout the course.

The course structure is made to suit both the beginner (First-time Remote Sensing learners) and those who have little training but due to lack of practice have lost the skill.

At the end of this course, you would be familiar with the term remote sensing as well as the science behind it.

You will also be able to distinguish between different types of datasets and understand the datasets

You can perform geospatial analysis using cloud computing (google earth engine).

You will be able to visualize and analyze geographic data on the cloud.

At the end of this course, you will be able to write JavaScript programming language to process big Earth observation data.

My main research and career interests are in the use of Remote Sensing technology to understand issues such as quantification of global forest change and land surface dynamics, effects of anthropogenic activities on terrestrial ecosystems, among others using methodological approaches like Time-series analyses, evaluation of optical and SAR data, analysis of large remote sensing data archives and mass data processing, Machine learning techniques.
