Google Earth Engine

Google Earth Engine holds decades of satellite data and the computing power to analyse it. We write Earth Engine scripts that process large areas and long time series quickly, and that can be rerun as new imagery arrives.

Results are delivered as maps, charts and documented scripts your team can reuse.

What the service involves

  • Satellite data processing
  • Time-series analysis
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Large-scale geospatial analysis
  • Automated remote sensing workflows

Problems it solves

  • Study areas too large to process on a desktop
  • Need for multi-year trends rather than a single snapshot
  • Analysis that must be repeated every season or year

Typical applications

  • Vegetation and drought trends
  • Surface water mapping
  • National or provincial land-cover composites
  • Monitoring apps

Deliverables

  • Documented Earth Engine scripts
  • Exported rasters and charts
  • Earth Engine app where useful
  • Method note

Technologies

  • Google Earth Engine
  • JavaScript API
  • Python API
  • Sentinel and Landsat archives

Industries that benefit

  • Environment and climate
  • Agriculture and natural resources
  • Research and academia
  • Disaster risk management

How we deliver

  1. Understand the challenge. Agree the question, the area and the decision the work must support.
  2. Acquire and prepare data. Source, clean and document each dataset, including date, resolution and licence.
  3. Analyse and model. Apply a transparent method and check accuracy where reference data exists.
  4. Develop geospatial solutions. Build the maps, models, scripts or web applications the work requires.
  5. Deliver actionable insights. Hand over outputs and a plain-language summary of findings and limitations.
