Introduction to GEE

Here we will provide an overview of the Google Earth Engine cloud-based geospatial platform, its benefits over desktop geospatial software, access to a large catalog of remote sensing datasets, applications in GEE, the basics of programming language and main concepts. Much of the content is based on the EEFA book.
