Geostatistics – II

Your Desktop

Many environmental variables such as temperature, rainfall, air pollutants, and soil nutrients are measured at sampled point locations. We often need to estimate these variables at one of more unsampled locations. Geostatistics provide tools and techniques to carry out this task. In a series of three workshops, we are covering the basics of Geostatistics. In […]

Introduction to Google Earth Engine – I

Your Desktop

Google Earth Engine (GEE) combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities. The instant availability of data, massive compute power, and well-developed API make it a very convenient and powerful platform for geospatial analysis. GEE provides native APIs in JavaScript and Python. However, recently the user community has developed […]
