When learning how to use GEE, I fortunately had direct help from an expert, but I often found it difficult to find easy to understand introductions for quick and simple analysis. It allows all the heavy-computer processing on remote servers and is incredibly quick. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-computing platform for processing satellite imagery and other geospatial and observational data.

Eventually, a colleague pointed me towards Google Earth Engine - an absolute Godsend! I remember pulling my hair out trying to find RGB imagery of the transboundary area from Cambodia to Vietnam without any cloud-cover (Synthetic Aperture Radar wasn’t applicable for my task at hand).

Download DEM and Slope data (SRTM) using Google Earth Engineĭownloading, processing and storing satellite data can be a serious pain.
