Petabyte-scale remote sensing data analytics in Google's Earth Engine with Python

[benlaken]

Hi all - I haven't yet attended a meet up, but I am moving to Madrid shortly, and would be interested in getting involved. I could potentially contribute a talk on the following, if people think it is of interest/hasn't been done before.

Objective: Show examples of what is possible using Google's Earth Engine system and Python API, to interact with petabyte scale remote sensing data.

Nivel: basic

Language: English

Description:

As a small demo of what is possible with Earth Engine this link shows how Madrid has changed from the perspective of Landsat over the past 30 years.

I can run through a few of the interesting use cases of the Earth Engine, and talk about how I have used it in the past also to investigate changes in vegetation.

Technologies:

• Python API
• Google Earth Engine
• Jupyter Notebook

It looks great Benjamin! Let me talk with the guys and we'll reply you as soon as possible.

Cheers!

Hi Benjamin, I have just talk with the other organisers, when do you prefer to do the talk? We were thinking on make it online in the first place (through Hangout on Air), do you have an special interest on doing it in-person?

Bests,
Raul

Hi Raul, its great to know people are interested in this topic. I am happy to give the talk in person. At the moment I haven't written the content of the talk, and I imagine the earliest I could do this by is around December. I can write the talk as a Jupyter notebook and link it to this thread so you can keep track of the progress easily if you like. How long do the talks in this group usually last?

[hhkaos]

Great, we can make it in 2017 if you prefer. Link the Jupyter notebook sounds great. Our talks normally takes ~1h but if you we can adjust the time a little bit more (or less), you choose :). Do we set a tentative date? For example Thursday 19th or 26th? (we can change it later if you need it).

[benlaken]

Better hold off on setting a date - I can let you know in November - I have a crazy month or so coming up and won't have an idea about potential availability until after then.

[hhkaos]

hehe, ok, I will add a reminder to my calendar too :).

Cheer up!

[hhkaos]

Hi @benlaken, sorry I forgot to "ping" you. Are you ready to schedule the meetup?

[benlaken]

Hi @hhkaos, may have to let setting a date slip back even further - pretty swamped at the moment!

Ok @benlaken ! as you can see I'm moving this issue to a new repo. Good luck and take care! ;D
