Overview
What you will learn
On successful completion of this Introduction to Earth Observation Data Science course offered by Cranfield University , you will be able to:
- Review types and principles of satellite EO and how electromagnetic radiation as related to satellite EO interacts with the earth’s surface and the atmosphere,
- Outline key planetary EO cloud back-ends (e.g., Google Earth Engine, Microsoft Planetary Computer, AWS) and discover their associated data catalogues including datasets from the Google Earth Engine Community,
- Use Python APIs to access Google Earth Engine and Microsoft Planetary Computer EO cloud data,
- Create and customise scripts using Python API to access and manipulate collections of EO data in Google Earth Engine,
- Extract and visualise time series of spectral indices over a given area such as vegetation, water, soil and snow indices,
- Build EO data workflows integrating data from EO cloud back-ends
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Satellite EO types and principles: including Optical, Thermal and Radar Remote Sensing,
- Explore key EO cloud back-ends and associated data catalogues focussing on Google Earth Engine and Microsoft planetary computer. This will include hands-on sessions on data discovery using Python APIs and JupyterLab,
- Manipulate EO data collections: hands-on sessions focussing on progressively developing a workflow on how to get image collections from a given satellite sensor, apply cloud algorithms and other processing functions, and aggregate data spatially and temporally,
- Develop workflows to extract time series data of various spectral indices over a given area/grid cell. We will cover various indices such as vegetation, water, soil and snow indices,
- Mini-hackathon - develop custom workflows to integrate datasets from key EO cloud platforms
