Google Earth Engine, which originally was launched to scientists and NGOs in 2010, will now be available to businesses & governments around the world as an enterprise-grade service through Google Cloud.
According to this report by ZDNet, it is one of the world’s largest publicly available Earth observation catalogs. It combines data from satellites & other sources continuously streaming into Earth Engine. The data is combined with massive geospatial cloud computing resources, which lets organizations use the raw data for timely, accurate, high-resolution insights about the state of the world. That means they can keep a near-constant eye on the world’s forests, water sources, ecosystems and agriculture — & how they’re all changing.
