Google Earth Engine on Google Cloud
Another of the company’s big announcements is that Google Earth Engine on Google Cloud is now generally available.
Google Earth Engine, which originally launched to scientists and NGOs in 2010, is a technology for planetary-scale environmental monitoring. It combines data from hundreds of satellites and other sources with geospatial cloud computing resources to deliver insights about the world’s habitats and ecosystems. It has one of the largest publicly available data catalogs and a global data archive that goes back 50 years and updates every 15 minutes. This means it’s possible to detect trends and understand correlations between human activities and environmental impact more precisely than ever before, said Google Cloud.
