This workshop aims to introduce participants to Google Earth Engine (GEE)—a cloud-based geospatial analysis platform—for applications in remote sensing, environmental monitoring, and agricultural intelligence. Attendees will gain foundational and practical experience in handling Earth observation datasets on the GEE platform. The workshop will also expose participants to Agri-Tech research using GEE, sharing insights from our recent works combining satellite data with deep learning for crop monitoring and analysis.
