Geospatial technology is powerful, but its true impact comes from the people who use it. Join us for a dynamic panel discussion on how we can foster meaningful user engagement and build robust capacity within diverse communities.

Introducing our new Satellite Embedding dataset. Learn how to get the most out of this AI-powered Image Collection, featuring hands-on examples and real-world case studies.

This panel session brings together experts using Google Earth Engine (GEE) in deriving insights about our planet's ecosystems and biodiversity. Join leading experts as they showcase how GEE is revolutionizing conservation efforts through innovative approaches and real-world applications.

In an effort to combat the alarming rates of deforestation caused by commodity supply chains, the European Union introduced the groundbreaking EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The regulation aims to address the environmental and social issues associated with deforestation, ensuring that the EU market becomes free from products linked to illegal deforestation and forest degradation.

Numerous publicly available Earth Observation maps provide data on forests, land use, and tree cover. However, these maps often differ because they use various definitions and classification systems.

Discover how the Collect Earth Online open-source tool is being used to visually classify imagery to generate training data for use in Earth Engine. We'll discuss the process of creating a sampling design, gathering samples, and using those samples in Earth Engine to train a classifier.

The EU Deforestation Regulation aims to address the environmental and social issues associated with deforestation, specifically related to seven agricultural commodities. In this session, we’ll describe these commodities, showcase the state of the art in their detection and monitoring, and discuss the challenges and gaps that exist today.

We are all seeing severe weather, fires, and extreme heat events on the rise, increasing in serverity and frequency across the globe. Hear from Earth Engine partners Climate Engine and Spatial Informatics Group (SIG), about the solutions they have been developing and bringing to market to help companies make better ongoing operational decisions to reduce their risks and better adapt to the changing realities everyone is facing.

In this breakout session, we will introduce attendees to the multimedia effort Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine: Fundamentals and Applications. This is the product of more than a year of volunteer effort from more than a hundred individuals, working in concert to provide coordinated open-access learning resources for learning how to use Earth Engine for the public good.
