Join the Earth Engine community for an informal meetup near the IGARSS conference venue (KLCC). This is an opportunity to catch up and meet each other over some food. Join us for a light halal dinner buffet with vegetarian options available. We will also have a special guest who will be announced soon!

Registration is required as limited spots are available.

For those attending the Living Planet Symposium in Bonn, please join us for an informal meetup at a local pub!

Join the Earth Engine community for an informal meetup at a small local pub called Markusschänke. This is an opportunity to catch up and meet each other over some food. The walk takes about 20 minutes from the conference venue. We will depart promptly at 5pm from the Google Booth. You are also welcome to meet us directly at the venue. Vegetarian options are available and kids are welcome! :)

The Earth Outreach team may provide some appetisers but dinner and drinks are at your own cost. Don't forget to bring cash! The only accepted form of payment at the pub is cash.

Registrations required.

We’ll have a session focusing on networking, sharing ideas and meeting other community members! We will use themed breakout rooms that you can visit. All participants, by registering for this event, agree to abide by the Berlin Code of Conduct.

Emil Cherrington will be our guest speaker in April. Emil is the West Africa Regional Science Coordination Lead with the NASA Earth Applied Sciences ProgramCapacity Building program area's SERVIR Science Coordination Office. SERVIR is a joint development initiative between NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

This talk will showcase how SERVIR – a partnership between NASA, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and a number of regional centers of excellence – are leveraging Google Earth Engine (GEE) in the geospatial services the network is implementing. In addition to those examples, Emil will also demo specific examples of the use of GEE for monitoring of terrestrial and marine ecosystems in Belize, towards supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Celio Helder Sousa and Liza Goldberg will be our guest speakers. They are both affiliated with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

Jennifer Hird will be our guest speaker for the first meetup of 2021! She is a Remote Sensing Scientist at the Geospatial Centre, ABMI & Applied Geospatial Research Group at the University of Calgary.

Abena Asare-Ansah will share her work using Earth Engine to monitor the aerosol concentrations in the Sahara Desert.

This talk was recorded and can be viewed at https://bit.ly/eevm-youtube.

The full title of the talk is “Pathway Forward: Addressing Urban Tree Cover Inequity as a Climate Mitigation Strategy”. Tanushree Biswas from The Nature Conservancy is our guest speaker.

We will introduce some key features of geemap and a general workflow for using it for interactive mapping and analysis, such as defining study area, searching GEE data catalog, filtering image collection, creating timelapse animations, developing algorithms, applying algorithms to timeseries images, visualizing results, and batch-exporting datasets.

Here's your chance to share your work, art, tips or apps to a global audience. All are welcome! Each talk is only 3 minutes long. Check out the video recording if you missed our session.

Our lightning talks in order:

1. Dawn Nekorchuk: Forecasting Malaria: Using GEE Environmental Data in the EPIDEMIA System

   • The EPIDEMIA system is a long-running project with public health officials in the Amhara region of Ethiopia to forecast malaria. We are currently using GEE to download environmental data to use in the modeling. We are also now looking to scale to all regions in Ethiopia.

   • Slides

2. Andrea Hess: Mapping building density with PlanetScope imagery

   • I study malaria risk factors in the Amhara region in Ethiopia. For my study area I don't have reliable population data, so I classified buildings as an approximate measure of population density.  I used PlanetScope imagery at a spatial resolution of 3m to classify buildings and to create a building density index.

3. Qiusheng Wu: Using the geemap Python package for interactive mapping with Earth Engine

   • This talk will introduce the geemap Python package and its key functions for doing interactive mapping with Earth Engine. More information about geemap can be found at https://github.com/giswqs/geemap and https://www.youtube.com/c/QiushengWu

   • Slides

4. Rich Boothroyd: Active river channel change in tropical rivers

   • We focus on approaches to look beyond mapping wet river channel extents and instead map the wider riverscape (i.e. water, sediment, vegetation) and its dynamics. Examples will be given from several tropical rivers in the Philippines.

   • Slides pending

5. Tirthankar ‘TC’ Chakraborty: Estimating COVID-19 presence at fine resolutions in the US

   • I will discuss some of the work I am doing on the Yale COVID-19 mapping project. Of these, I will focus on a couple of web apps displaying possible COVID-19 presence at less than 100 m x 100 m resolution for the US and the Connecticut, respectively, implemented on Google Earth Engine.

   • Slides

6. Cristina Vrînceanu: Mapping pollution during the COVID-19 epidemic

   • The COVID-19 pandemic has given us the chance to map different phenomena rapid changes including impact over the economic activity, mobility or the environment. All these are reflected in daily fluctuations of pollution levels and satellite data can help monitor them efficiently, prompting to a wealth of new possibilities in easily visualizing this data and drawing fast preliminary conclusions. In this talk, I will explore on how changes in pollution levels can be visualized using Sentinel-5P data and what quick insights we can get from this data.

7. Keiko Nomura: How to publish your map online

   • I will show a few apps I made so far. Nothing fancy but simple to use, copy and paste

   • Slides

8. Sunita Yadav: Evaluating reference data needs

   • Slides and Video are confidential.

9. Carlos Riano: Support of GEE to analyse land use change and deforestation for national governments
