GEE Lab 1: Fundamentals of Google Earth Engine API

This lab focusses on introducing the fundamentals needed to use the GEE API. This lab introduces fundamental terms in GEE and provides guidance through several basic tasks. At the end of this lab you will be able to use GEE to perform the following tasks:

• Run basic Java commands.

• Display and clip image and vector.

• Composite and mosaic images.

• Explore image collections and their metadata.

• Filter image collections.

• Perform simple image band calculations.

• Explore and construct functions and map these functions over an image collection.

• Import and export raster and vector.

• Construct simple graphs based on a set of images e.g. change in vegetation index over time.
