Earth Map

May 15, 2024 by jaime.sanford

Have you heard of Earth Map or seen the capabilities it holds?

Earth Map is a point-and-click cloud-based platform powered by Google Earth Engine and other free data sources without any need for coding. Earth Map enables any user to visualize, analyze, and monitor changes on Earth’s surface, performing multi-temporal and multi-parametric land monitoring, climate assessments and other geospatial and Earth Observation-based analyses. 

 

Check out the land cover features, particularly the Dynamic World layer, which is a near realtime 10m resolution global land use land cover dataset, produced using deep learning, freely available and openly licensed. It is the result of a partnership between Google and the World Resources Institute, to produce a dynamic dataset of the physical material on the surface of the Earth. Dynamic World is intended to be used as a data product for users to add custom rules with which to assign final class values, producing derivative land cover maps. Using a novel deep learning approach, based on Sentinel-2 Top of Atmosphere, Dynamic World offers global land cover updating every 2-5 days depending on location. The maps shown in Earth Map represent a yearly averaging of the observations available in one year.
