Introduction to Google Earth Engine¶

Google Earth Engine Overview¶

Google Earth Engine is a cloud-computing platform that enables scientific analysis and visualization of large-scale geospatial datasets. It provides a rich data catalog and processing capabilities, allowing users to analyze satellite imagery and geospatial data at planetary scale.

Earth Engine is free for noncommercial and research use. Nonprofit organizations, research institutions, educators, Indigenous governments, and government researchers can continue using Earth Engine for free, as they have for more than a decade. However, commercial users may require a paid license.

Installing Geemap¶

The geemap package simplifies the use of Google Earth Engine in Python, offering an intuitive API for visualization and analysis in Jupyter notebooks. In Google Colab, geemap is pre-installed, but you may need to install additional dependencies for certain features. To install the latest version with optional dependencies, use the following command:

In [ ]:

%pip install -U "geemap[workshop]" pycrs mapclassify localtileserver fiona geojson

%pip install -U "geemap[workshop]" pycrs mapclassify localtileserver fiona geojson

Import Libraries¶

To start, import the necessary libraries for working with Google Earth Engine (GEE) and geemap.

In [ ]:

import ee
import geemap

import ee import geemap

Authenticate and Initialize Earth Engine¶

To authenticate and initialize your Earth Engine environment, you’ll need to create a Google Cloud Project and enable the Earth Engine API for the project if you have not done so already. You can find detailed setup instructions here.

In [ ]:

ee.Authenticate()

ee.Authenticate()

Replace YOUR-PROJECT-ID with your actual Google Cloud Project ID. You can get the project ID from the Earth Engine JavaScript Code Editor.

In [ ]:

ee.Initialize(project="YOUR-PROJECT-ID")

ee.Initialize(project="YOUR-PROJECT-ID")

Creating Interactive Maps¶

Let’s create an interactive map using the ipyleaflet plotting backend. The geemap.Map class inherits from the ipyleaflet.Map class, so the syntax is similar to creating an interactive map with ipyleaflet.Map.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()

m = geemap.Map()

To display the map in a Jupyter notebook, simply enter the map object:

In [ ]:

m

m

To customize the map’s display, you can set various keyword arguments, such as center (latitude and longitude), zoom, width, and height. By default, the width is 100%, filling the entire width of the Jupyter notebook cell. The height parameter can be a number (in pixels) or a string with a pixel format, e.g., 600px.

Example Maps¶

Map of the Contiguous United States

To center the map on the contiguous United States, use:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4, height="600px")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4, height="600px") m

Map of the state of Tennessee

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[35.746512, -86.209818], zoom=8)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[35.746512, -86.209818], zoom=8) m

Map of the city of Knoxville, TN

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[35.959111, -83.909463], zoom=13)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[35.959111, -83.909463], zoom=13) m

To hide specific map controls, set the corresponding control argument to False, such as draw_ctrl=False to hide the drawing control.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(data_ctrl=False, toolbar_ctrl=False, draw_ctrl=False)
m

m = geemap.Map(data_ctrl=False, toolbar_ctrl=False, draw_ctrl=False) m

Adding Basemaps¶

There are several ways to add basemaps to a map in geemap. You can specify a basemap in the basemap keyword argument when creating the map, or you can add additional basemap layers using the add_basemap method. Geemap provides access to hundreds of built-in basemaps, making it easy to add layers to a map with a single line of code.

To create a map with a specific basemap, use the basemap argument as shown below. For example, Esri.WorldImagery provides an Esri world imagery basemap.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(basemap="Esri.WorldImagery")
m

m = geemap.Map(basemap="Esri.WorldImagery") m

Adding Multiple Basemaps¶

You can add multiple basemaps to a map by calling add_basemap multiple times. For example, the following code adds the Esri.WorldTopoMap and OpenTopoMap basemaps to the existing map:

In [ ]:

m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldTopoMap")

m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldTopoMap")

In [ ]:

m.add_basemap("OpenTopoMap")

m.add_basemap("OpenTopoMap")

Listing Available Basemaps¶

To view the first 10 available basemaps, use:

In [ ]:

basemaps = list(geemap.basemaps.keys())
len(geemap.basemaps)

basemaps = list(geemap.basemaps.keys()) len(geemap.basemaps)

In [ ]:

basemaps[:10]

basemaps[:10]

Google Basemaps¶

Due to licensing restrictions, Google basemaps are not included in geemap by default. However, users can add Google basemaps manually at their own discretion using the following URLs:

ROADMAP:  https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
    SATELLITE: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
    TERRAIN: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=p&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
    HYBRID: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}

For example, to add Google Satellite as a tile layer:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
url = "https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}"
m.add_tile_layer(url, name="Google Satellite", attribution="Google")
m

m = geemap.Map() url = "https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}" m.add_tile_layer(url, name="Google Satellite", attribution="Google") m

You can also add text to the map using the add_text method. The text will be displayed at the specified location on the map.

In [ ]:

m.add_text(text="Hello from Earth Engine", position="bottomright")

m.add_text(text="Hello from Earth Engine", position="bottomright")

Introduction to Interactive Maps and Tools¶

Basemap Selector¶

The basemap selector allows you to choose from various basemaps via a dropdown menu. Adding it to your map provides easy access to different map backgrounds.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m.add("basemap_selector")
m

m = geemap.Map() m.add("basemap_selector") m

Layer Manager¶

The layer manager provides control over layer visibility and transparency. It enables toggling layers on and off and adjusting transparency with a slider, making it easy to customize map visuals.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"],
}
m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM")
m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States")
m.add("layer_manager")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 4000, "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"], } m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM") m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States") m.add("layer_manager") m

Inspector Tool¶

The inspector tool allows you to click on the map to query Earth Engine data at specific locations. This is helpful for examining the properties of datasets directly on the map.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003")
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"],
}
m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM")
m.add_layer(
    landsat7,
    {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0},
    "Landsat 7",
)
m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States")
m.add("inspector")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003") states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 4000, "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"], } m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM") m.add_layer( landsat7, {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0}, "Landsat 7", ) m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States") m.add("inspector") m

Layer Editor¶

With the layer editor, you can adjust visualization parameters of Earth Engine data for better clarity and focus. It supports single-band images, multi-band images, and feature collections.

Single-Band image¶

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"],
}
m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM")
m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["SRTM DEM"])
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 4000, "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"], } m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM") m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["SRTM DEM"]) m

Multi-Band image¶

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003")
m.add_layer(
    landsat7,
    {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0},
    "Landsat 7",
)
m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["Landsat 7"])
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003") m.add_layer( landsat7, {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0}, "Landsat 7", ) m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["Landsat 7"]) m

Feature Collection¶

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States")
m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["US States"])
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States") m.add("layer_editor", layer_dict=m.ee_layers["US States"]) m

Draw Control¶

The draw control feature allows you to draw shapes directly on the map, converting them automatically into Earth Engine objects. Access the drawn features as follows:

• To return the last drawn feature as an ee.Geometry(), use m.user_roi
• To return all drawn features as an ee.FeatureCollection(), use m.user_rois

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": "terrain",
}
m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM")
m.add("layer_manager")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 4000, "palette": "terrain", } m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM") m.add("layer_manager") m

In [ ]:

if m.user_roi is not None:
    image = dem.clip(m.user_roi)
    m.layers[1].visible = False
    m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "Clipped DEM")

if m.user_roi is not None: image = dem.clip(m.user_roi) m.layers[1].visible = False m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "Clipped DEM")

The Earth Engine Data Catalog¶

The Earth Engine Data Catalog hosts an extensive collection of geospatial datasets. Currently, he catalog includes over 1,000 datasets with a combined size exceeding 100 petabytes. Notable datasets include Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, and NAIP. For a comprehensive list of datasets in CSV or JSON format, refer to the Earth Engine Datasets List.

Searching Datasets on the Earth Engine Website¶

To browse datasets directly on the Earth Engine website:

• View the full catalog: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog
• Search by tags: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/tags

Searching Datasets Within Geemap¶

The Earth Engine Data Catalog can also be searched directly from geemap. Use keywords to filter datasets by name, tag, or description. For instance, searching for "elevation" will display only datasets containing "elevation" in their metadata, returning 52 datasets. You can scroll through the results to locate the NASA SRTM Digital Elevation 30m dataset.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m

m = geemap.Map() m

Each dataset page contains detailed information such as availability, provider, Earth Engine snippet, tags, description, and example code. The Image, ImageCollection, or FeatureCollection ID is essential for accessing the dataset in Earth Engine’s JavaScript or Python APIs.

Using the Datasets Module in Geemap¶

Geemap offers a built-in datasets module to access specific datasets programmatically. For example, to access the USGS GAP Alaska dataset:

In [ ]:

from geemap.datasets import DATA

from geemap.datasets import DATA

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
dataset = ee.Image(DATA.USGS_GAP_AK_2001)
m.add_layer(dataset, {}, "GAP Alaska")
m.centerObject(dataset, zoom=4)
m

m = geemap.Map() dataset = ee.Image(DATA.USGS_GAP_AK_2001) m.add_layer(dataset, {}, "GAP Alaska") m.centerObject(dataset, zoom=4) m

To retrieve metadata for a specific dataset, use the get_metadata function:

In [ ]:

from geemap.datasets import get_metadata

get_metadata(DATA.USGS_GAP_AK_2001)

from geemap.datasets import get_metadata get_metadata(DATA.USGS_GAP_AK_2001)

Earth Engine Data Types¶

Earth Engine objects are server-side entities, meaning they are stored and processed on Earth Engine’s servers rather than locally. This setup is comparable to streaming services (e.g., YouTube or Netflix) where the data remains on the provider’s servers, allowing us to access and process geospatial data in real time without downloading it to our local devices.

• Image: The core raster data type in Earth Engine, representing single images or scenes.
• ImageCollection: A collection or sequence of images, often used for time series analysis.
• Geometry: The fundamental vector data type, including shapes like points, lines, and polygons.
• Feature: A Geometry with associated attributes, used to add descriptive data to vector shapes.
• FeatureCollection: A collection of Features, similar to a shapefile with attribute data.

Earth Engine Raster Data¶

Image¶

In Earth Engine, raster data is represented as Image objects. Each Image is composed of bands, with each band having its own name, data type, scale, mask, and projection. Metadata for each image is stored as a set of properties.

Loading Earth Engine Images¶

To load images, use the Earth Engine asset ID within the ee.Image constructor. Asset IDs can be found in the Earth Engine Data Catalog. For example, to load the NASA SRTM Digital Elevation dataset:

In [ ]:

image = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
image

image = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") image

Visualizing Earth Engine Images¶

To visualize an image, you can specify visualization parameters such as minimum and maximum values and color palettes.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[21.79, 70.87], zoom=3)
image = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 6000,
    "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"],  # 'terrain'
}
m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "SRTM")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[21.79, 70.87], zoom=3) image = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 6000, "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"], # 'terrain' } m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "SRTM") m

ImageCollection¶

An ImageCollection represents a sequence of images, often used for temporal data like satellite image time series. ImageCollections are created by passing an Earth Engine asset ID into the ImageCollection constructor. Asset IDs are available in the Earth Engine Data Catalog.

Loading Image Collections¶

To load an ImageCollection, such as the Sentinel-2 surface reflectance collection:

In [ ]:

collection = ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED")

collection = ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED")

Filtering Image Collections¶

You can filter ImageCollections by location and time. For example, to filter images covering a specific location with low cloud cover:

In [ ]:

geometry = ee.Geometry.Point([-83.909463, 35.959111])
images = collection.filterBounds(geometry)
images.size()

geometry = ee.Geometry.Point([-83.909463, 35.959111]) images = collection.filterBounds(geometry) images.size()

In [ ]:

images.first()

images.first()

In [ ]:

images = (
    collection.filterBounds(geometry)
    .filterDate("2024-07-01", "2024-10-01")
    .filter(ee.Filter.lt("CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE", 5))
)
images.size()

images = ( collection.filterBounds(geometry) .filterDate("2024-07-01", "2024-10-01") .filter(ee.Filter.lt("CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE", 5)) ) images.size()

To view the filtered collection on a map:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
image = images.first()

vis = {
    "min": 0.0,
    "max": 3000,
    "bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"],
}

m.add_layer(image, vis, "Sentinel-2")
m.centerObject(image, 8)
m

m = geemap.Map() image = images.first() vis = { "min": 0.0, "max": 3000, "bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], } m.add_layer(image, vis, "Sentinel-2") m.centerObject(image, 8) m

Visualizing Image Collections¶

To visualize an ImageCollection as a single composite image, you need to aggregate the collection. For example, using the collection.median() method creates an image representing the median value across the collection.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
image = images.median()

vis = {
    "min": 0.0,
    "max": 3000,
    "bands": ["B8", "B4", "B3"],
}

m.add_layer(image, vis, "Sentinel-2")
m.centerObject(geometry, 8)
m

m = geemap.Map() image = images.median() vis = { "min": 0.0, "max": 3000, "bands": ["B8", "B4", "B3"], } m.add_layer(image, vis, "Sentinel-2") m.centerObject(geometry, 8) m

Earth Engine Vector Data¶

A FeatureCollection is a collection of Features. It functions similarly to a GeoJSON FeatureCollection, where features include associated properties or attributes. For example, a shapefile’s data can be represented as a FeatureCollection.

Loading Feature Collections¶

The Earth Engine Data Catalog includes various vector datasets, such as U.S. Census data and country boundaries, as feature collections. Feature Collection IDs are accessible by searching the data catalog. For example, to load the TIGER roads data by the U.S. Census Bureau:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
fc = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2016/Roads")
m.set_center(-83.909463, 35.959111, 12)
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Census roads")
m

m = geemap.Map() fc = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2016/Roads") m.set_center(-83.909463, 35.959111, 12) m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Census roads") m

Filtering Feature Collections¶

The filter method allows you to filter a FeatureCollection based on certain attribute values. For instance, we can filter for specific states using the eq filter to select "Tennessee":

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.eq("NAME", "Tennessee"))
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Tennessee")
m.center_object(fc, 7)
m

m = geemap.Map() states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.eq("NAME", "Tennessee")) m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Tennessee") m.center_object(fc, 7) m

To retrieve properties of the first feature in the collection, use:

In [ ]:

feat = fc.first()
feat.toDictionary()

feat = fc.first() feat.toDictionary()

You can also convert a FeatureCollection to a Pandas DataFrame for easier analysis with:

In [ ]:

geemap.ee_to_df(fc)

geemap.ee_to_df(fc)

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.inList("NAME", ["California", "Oregon", "Washington"]))
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "West Coast")
m.center_object(fc, 5)
m

m = geemap.Map() states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.inList("NAME", ["California", "Oregon", "Washington"])) m.add_layer(fc, {}, "West Coast") m.center_object(fc, 5) m

In [ ]:

region = m.user_roi
if region is None:
    region = ee.Geometry.BBox(-88.40, 29.88, -77.90, 35.39)

fc = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States").filterBounds(region)
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Southeastern U.S.")
m.center_object(fc, 6)

region = m.user_roi if region is None: region = ee.Geometry.BBox(-88.40, 29.88, -77.90, 35.39) fc = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States").filterBounds(region) m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Southeastern U.S.") m.center_object(fc, 6)

A FeatureCollection can be used to clip an image. The clipToCollection method clips an image to the geometry of a feature collection. For example, to clip a Landsat image to the boundary of France:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4)
landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003")
countries = ee.FeatureCollection("FAO/GAUL_SIMPLIFIED_500m/2015/level0")
fc = countries.filter(ee.Filter.eq("ADM0_NAME", "Germany"))
image = landsat7.clipToCollection(fc)
m.add_layer(
    image,
    {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0},
    "Landsat 7",
)
m.center_object(fc, 6)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4) landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003") countries = ee.FeatureCollection("FAO/GAUL_SIMPLIFIED_500m/2015/level0") fc = countries.filter(ee.Filter.eq("ADM0_NAME", "Germany")) image = landsat7.clipToCollection(fc) m.add_layer( image, {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 20, "max": 200, "gamma": 2.0}, "Landsat 7", ) m.center_object(fc, 6) m

Visualizing Feature Collections¶

Once loaded, feature collections can be visualized on an interactive map. For example, visualizing U.S. state boundaries from the census data:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") m.add_layer(states, {}, "US States") m

Feature collections can also be styled with additional parameters. To apply a custom style, specify options like color and line width:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
style = {"color": "0000ffff", "width": 2, "lineType": "solid", "fillColor": "FF000080"}
m.add_layer(states.style(**style), {}, "US States")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") style = {"color": "0000ffff", "width": 2, "lineType": "solid", "fillColor": "FF000080"} m.add_layer(states.style(**style), {}, "US States") m

Using add_styled_vector, you can apply a color palette to style different features by attribute:

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
vis_params = {
    "color": "000000",
    "colorOpacity": 1,
    "pointSize": 3,
    "pointShape": "circle",
    "width": 2,
    "lineType": "solid",
    "fillColorOpacity": 0.66,
}
palette = ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"]
m.add_styled_vector(
    states, column="NAME", palette=palette, layer_name="Styled vector", **vis_params
)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") vis_params = { "color": "000000", "colorOpacity": 1, "pointSize": 3, "pointShape": "circle", "width": 2, "lineType": "solid", "fillColorOpacity": 0.66, } palette = ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"] m.add_styled_vector( states, column="NAME", palette=palette, layer_name="Styled vector", **vis_params ) m

More Tools for Visualizing Earth Engine Data¶

Using the Plotting Tool¶

The plotting tool in geemap enables visualization of Earth Engine data layers. In this example, Landsat 7 and Hyperion data are added with specific visualization parameters, allowing for comparison of these datasets. The plot GUI is then added to facilitate detailed exploration of the data.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)

landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003").select(
    ["B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5", "B7"]
)

landsat_vis = {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "gamma": 1.4}
m.add_layer(landsat7, landsat_vis, "Landsat")

hyperion = ee.ImageCollection("EO1/HYPERION").filter(
    ee.Filter.date("2016-01-01", "2017-03-01")
)

hyperion_vis = {
    "min": 1000.0,
    "max": 14000.0,
    "gamma": 2.5,
}
m.add_layer(hyperion, hyperion_vis, "Hyperion")
m.add_plot_gui()
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) landsat7 = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LE7_TOA_5YEAR/1999_2003").select( ["B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5", "B7"] ) landsat_vis = {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "gamma": 1.4} m.add_layer(landsat7, landsat_vis, "Landsat") hyperion = ee.ImageCollection("EO1/HYPERION").filter( ee.Filter.date("2016-01-01", "2017-03-01") ) hyperion_vis = { "min": 1000.0, "max": 14000.0, "gamma": 2.5, } m.add_layer(hyperion, hyperion_vis, "Hyperion") m.add_plot_gui() m

Set the plotting options for Landsat to add marker clusters and overlays, enhancing the interactivity of plotted data on the map.

In [ ]:

m.set_plot_options(add_marker_cluster=True, overlay=True)

m.set_plot_options(add_marker_cluster=True, overlay=True)

Adjust the plotting options for Hyperion data by setting a bar plot type with marker clusters, suitable for visualizing Hyperion’s data values in bar format.

In [ ]:

m.set_plot_options(add_marker_cluster=True, plot_type="bar")

m.set_plot_options(add_marker_cluster=True, plot_type="bar")

Legends¶

Built-in Legends¶

Geemap provides built-in legends that can be easily added to maps for better interpretability of data classes. Here, an NLCD legend is added to both a WMS layer and an Earth Engine land cover layer, giving quick visual reference to the data's classification scheme.

In [ ]:

from geemap.legends import builtin_legends

from geemap.legends import builtin_legends

Print out all available built-in legends, which can be used with various data layers to enhance map readability.

In [ ]:

for legend in builtin_legends:
    print(legend)

for legend in builtin_legends: print(legend)

Add an NLCD WMS layer along with its corresponding legend, which appears as an overlay, providing users with an informative legend display.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery")
m.add_basemap("NLCD 2021 CONUS Land Cover")
m.add_legend(builtin_legend="NLCD", max_width="100px", height="455px")
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery") m.add_basemap("NLCD 2021 CONUS Land Cover") m.add_legend(builtin_legend="NLCD", max_width="100px", height="455px") m

Add an Earth Engine layer for NLCD land cover and display its legend, specifying title, legend type, and dimensions for user convenience.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery")

nlcd = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2021_REL/NLCD/2021")
landcover = nlcd.select("landcover")

m.add_layer(landcover, {}, "NLCD Land Cover 2021")
m.add_legend(
    title="NLCD Land Cover Classification", builtin_legend="NLCD", height="455px"
)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery") nlcd = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2021_REL/NLCD/2021") landcover = nlcd.select("landcover") m.add_layer(landcover, {}, "NLCD Land Cover 2021") m.add_legend( title="NLCD Land Cover Classification", builtin_legend="NLCD", height="455px" ) m

Custom Legends¶

Create a custom legend by defining unique labels and colors for each class, allowing for flexible map customization. This example uses a color palette for labeling several map categories.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(add_google_map=False)

keys = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "etc"]

# colors can be defined using either hex code or RGB (0-255, 0-255, 0-255)
colors = ["#8DD3C7", "#FFFFB3", "#BEBADA", "#FB8072", "#80B1D3"]
# legend_colors = [(255, 0, 0), (127, 255, 0), (127, 18, 25), (36, 70, 180), (96, 68 123)]

m.add_legend(keys=keys, colors=colors, position="bottomright")
m

m = geemap.Map(add_google_map=False) keys = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "etc"] # colors can be defined using either hex code or RGB (0-255, 0-255, 0-255) colors = ["#8DD3C7", "#FFFFB3", "#BEBADA", "#FB8072", "#80B1D3"] # legend_colors = [(255, 0, 0), (127, 255, 0), (127, 18, 25), (36, 70, 180), (96, 68 123)] m.add_legend(keys=keys, colors=colors, position="bottomright") m

Define a custom legend using a dictionary that links specific colors to labels. This approach provides flexibility to represent specific categories in the data, such as various land cover types.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery")

legend_dict = {

landcover = nlcd.select("landcover")

m.add_layer(landcover, {}, "NLCD Land Cover 2021")
m.add_legend(title="NLCD Land Cover Classification", legend_dict=legend_dict)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) m.add_basemap("Esri.WorldImagery") legend_dict = { "11 Open Water": "466b9f", "12 Perennial Ice/Snow": "d1def8", "21 Developed, Open Space": "dec5c5", "22 Developed, Low Intensity": "d99282", "23 Developed, Medium Intensity": "eb0000", "24 Developed High Intensity": "ab0000", "31 Barren Land (Rock/Sand/Clay)": "b3ac9f", "41 Deciduous Forest": "68ab5f", "42 Evergreen Forest": "1c5f2c", "43 Mixed Forest": "b5c58f", "51 Dwarf Scrub": "af963c", "52 Shrub/Scrub": "ccb879", "71 Grassland/Herbaceous": "dfdfc2", "72 Sedge/Herbaceous": "d1d182", "73 Lichens": "a3cc51", "74 Moss": "82ba9e", "81 Pasture/Hay": "dcd939", "82 Cultivated Crops": "ab6c28", "90 Woody Wetlands": "b8d9eb", "95 Emergent Herbaceous Wetlands": "6c9fb8", } nlcd = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2021_REL/NLCD/2021") landcover = nlcd.select("landcover") m.add_layer(landcover, {}, "NLCD Land Cover 2021") m.add_legend(title="NLCD Land Cover Classification", legend_dict=legend_dict) m

Color Bars¶

Add a horizontal color bar representing elevation data. This example demonstrates how to add an SRTM elevation layer and overlay a color bar for quick visual reference of elevation values.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()

dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"],
}

m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM")
m.add_colorbar(vis_params, label="Elevation (m)", layer_name="SRTM DEM")
m

m = geemap.Map() dem = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003") vis_params = { "min": 0, "max": 4000, "palette": ["006633", "E5FFCC", "662A00", "D8D8D8", "F5F5F5"], } m.add_layer(dem, vis_params, "SRTM DEM") m.add_colorbar(vis_params, label="Elevation (m)", layer_name="SRTM DEM") m

Add a vertical color bar for elevation data, adjusting its orientation and dimensions to fit the map layout.

In [ ]:

m.add_colorbar(
    vis_params,
    label="Elevation (m)",
    layer_name="SRTM DEM",
    orientation="vertical",
    max_width="100px",
)

m.add_colorbar( vis_params, label="Elevation (m)", layer_name="SRTM DEM", orientation="vertical", max_width="100px", )

Make the color bar’s background transparent, which improves visual integration with the map when adding color bars for data layers.

In [ ]:

m.add_colorbar(
    vis_params,
    label="Elevation (m)",
    layer_name="SRTM DEM",
    orientation="vertical",
    max_width="100px",
    transparent_bg=True,
)

m.add_colorbar( vis_params, label="Elevation (m)", layer_name="SRTM DEM", orientation="vertical", max_width="100px", transparent_bg=True, )

Split-panel Maps¶

Create a split-panel map with basemaps, allowing users to compare two different basemaps side by side.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m.split_map(left_layer="Esri.WorldTopoMap", right_layer="OpenTopoMap")
m

m = geemap.Map() m.split_map(left_layer="Esri.WorldTopoMap", right_layer="OpenTopoMap") m

Use Earth Engine layers in a split-panel map to compare NLCD data from 2001 and 2021. This layout is effective for examining changes between datasets across time.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4, height=600)

nlcd_2001 = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2019_REL/NLCD/2001").select("landcover")
nlcd_2021 = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2021_REL/NLCD/2021").select("landcover")

left_layer = geemap.ee_tile_layer(nlcd_2001, {}, "NLCD 2001")
right_layer = geemap.ee_tile_layer(nlcd_2021, {}, "NLCD 2021")

m.split_map(left_layer, right_layer)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=(40, -100), zoom=4, height=600) nlcd_2001 = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2019_REL/NLCD/2001").select("landcover") nlcd_2021 = ee.Image("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2021_REL/NLCD/2021").select("landcover") left_layer = geemap.ee_tile_layer(nlcd_2001, {}, "NLCD 2001") right_layer = geemap.ee_tile_layer(nlcd_2021, {}, "NLCD 2021") m.split_map(left_layer, right_layer) m

Linked Maps¶

Set up a 2x2 grid of linked maps showing Sentinel-2 imagery in different band combinations, ideal for comparing multiple visual perspectives. Note that this feature may not work in Colab.

In [ ]:

image = (
    ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED")
    .filterDate("2024-07-01", "2024-10-01")
    .filter(ee.Filter.lt("CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE", 5))
    .map(lambda img: img.divide(10000))
    .median()
)

vis_params = [
    {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3},
    {"bands": ["B8", "B11", "B4"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3},
    {"bands": ["B8", "B4", "B3"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3},
    {"bands": ["B12", "B12", "B4"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3},
]

labels = [
    "Natural Color (B4/B3/B2)",
    "Land/Water (B8/B11/B4)",
    "Color Infrared (B8/B4/B3)",
    "Vegetation (B12/B11/B4)",
]

geemap.linked_maps(
    rows=2,
    cols=2,
    height="300px",
    center=[35.959111, -83.909463],
    zoom=12,
    ee_objects=[image],
    vis_params=vis_params,
    labels=labels,
    label_position="topright",
)

image = ( ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED") .filterDate("2024-07-01", "2024-10-01") .filter(ee.Filter.lt("CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE", 5)) .map(lambda img: img.divide(10000)) .median() ) vis_params = [ {"bands": ["B4", "B3", "B2"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3}, {"bands": ["B8", "B11", "B4"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3}, {"bands": ["B8", "B4", "B3"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3}, {"bands": ["B12", "B12", "B4"], "min": 0, "max": 0.3, "gamma": 1.3}, ] labels = [ "Natural Color (B4/B3/B2)", "Land/Water (B8/B11/B4)", "Color Infrared (B8/B4/B3)", "Vegetation (B12/B11/B4)", ] geemap.linked_maps( rows=2, cols=2, height="300px", center=[35.959111, -83.909463], zoom=12, ee_objects=[image], vis_params=vis_params, labels=labels, label_position="topright", )

Timeseries Inspector¶

Retrieve the available years in the NLCD collection for setting up a timeseries. This step helps confirm available time points for inspecting changes over time.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4)
collection = ee.ImageCollection("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2019_REL/NLCD").select("landcover")
vis_params = {"bands": ["landcover"]}
years = collection.aggregate_array("system:index").getInfo()
years

m = geemap.Map(center=[40, -100], zoom=4) collection = ee.ImageCollection("USGS/NLCD_RELEASES/2019_REL/NLCD").select("landcover") vis_params = {"bands": ["landcover"]} years = collection.aggregate_array("system:index").getInfo() years

Use a timeseries inspector to compare changes in NLCD data across different years. This tool is ideal for temporal data visualization, showing how land cover changes in an interactive format.

From Shapefile¶

Download and load a shapefile of country boundaries. The shapefile is converted to a FeatureCollection for visualization on the map.

In [ ]:

url = "https://github.com/gee-community/geemap/blob/master/examples/data/countries.zip"
geemap.download_file(url, overwrite=True)

url = "https://github.com/gee-community/geemap/blob/master/examples/data/countries.zip" geemap.download_file(url, overwrite=True)

In [ ]:

in_shp = "countries.shp"
fc = geemap.shp_to_ee(in_shp)

in_shp = "countries.shp" fc = geemap.shp_to_ee(in_shp)

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Countries")
m

m = geemap.Map() m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Countries") m

From GeoDataFrame¶

Read a shapefile into a GeoDataFrame using geopandas, then convert the GeoDataFrame to an Earth Engine FeatureCollection for mapping.

In [ ]:

import geopandas as gpd

gdf = gpd.read_file(in_shp)
fc = geemap.gdf_to_ee(gdf)

import geopandas as gpd gdf = gpd.read_file(in_shp) fc = geemap.gdf_to_ee(gdf)

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Countries")
m

m = geemap.Map() m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Countries") m

To GeoJSON¶

Filter U.S. state data to select Tennessee and save it as a GeoJSON file, which can be shared or used in other GIS tools.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.eq("NAME", "Tennessee"))
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Tennessee")

Processing of Raster Data¶

Extract Pixel Values¶

Extracting Values to Points¶

Load and visualize SRTM DEM and Landsat 7 imagery. Points from a shapefile of U.S. cities are added, and the tool extracts DEM values to these points, saving the results in a shapefile.

Zonal Statistics¶

Zonal Statistics with an Image and a Feature Collection¶

This section demonstrates the use of zonal statistics to calculate the mean elevation values within U.S. state boundaries using NASA’s SRTM DEM data and a 5-year Landsat composite. The geemap.zonal_stats function exports results to CSV files for analysis.

In [ ]:

Zonal Statistics by Group¶

Here, zonal statistics are applied to NLCD land cover data, calculating the area of each land cover type within each U.S. state. The results are saved to CSV files as both raw totals and percentages. This provides insights into the spatial distribution of land cover categories across states.

In [ ]:

Working with Local Geospatial Data¶

Raster Data¶

Single-band and multi-band raster data can be loaded from local files. Here, a digital elevation model (DEM) is loaded and displayed with a terrain color scheme, and another raster is displayed with a false-color composite to highlight different features.

Single-Band Raster Data¶

Accessing Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs¶

Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COG)¶

This section shows how to add Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) layers to a map using URLs, which allows for efficient loading and visualization of large raster files stored on the cloud. In this example, a pre-event image of the 2020 California wildfire is added to a map, allowing for remote sensing analysis without local file storage.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
url = "https://opendata.digitalglobe.com/events/california-fire-2020/pre-event/2018-02-16/pine-gulch-fire20/1030010076004E00.tif"
m.add_cog_layer(url, name="Fire (pre-event)")
m

m = geemap.Map() url = "https://opendata.digitalglobe.com/events/california-fire-2020/pre-event/2018-02-16/pine-gulch-fire20/1030010076004E00.tif" m.add_cog_layer(url, name="Fire (pre-event)") m

In [ ]:

geemap.cog_center(url)

geemap.cog_center(url)

The COG functions also allow inspection of data, such as viewing the bounds and available bands in the GeoTIFF file. The pre- and post-event images can be compared in a split map view to analyze changes due to the fire.

m.add_cog_layer(url2, name="Fire (post-event)")

url2 = "https://opendata.digitalglobe.com/events/california-fire-2020/post-event/2020-08-14/pine-gulch-fire20/10300100AAC8DD00.tif" m.add_cog_layer(url2, name="Fire (post-event)")

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map(center=[39.4568, -108.5107], zoom=12)
m.split_map(left_layer=url2, right_layer=url)
m

m = geemap.Map(center=[39.4568, -108.5107], zoom=12) m.split_map(left_layer=url2, right_layer=url) m

SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)¶

STAC collections can be accessed and visualized similarly, enabling dynamic mapping of spatiotemporal data. By specifying STAC URLs, you can view dataset bounds, center the map on a dataset, and select specific bands to add as layers. This example shows adding panchromatic and false-color imagery for enhanced visual analysis.

Exporting Earth Engine Data¶

Exporting Images¶

This section demonstrates exporting Earth Engine images. First, a Landsat image is added to the map for visualization, and a rectangular region of interest (ROI) is specified. Exporting options include saving the image locally with specified scale and region or exporting to Google Drive. It’s possible to define custom CRS and transformation settings when saving the image.

Add a Landsat image to the map.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()

image = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA/LC08_044034_20140318").select(
    ["B5", "B4", "B3"]
)

vis_params = {"min": 0, "max": 0.5, "gamma": [0.95, 1.1, 1]}

m.center_object(image)
m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "Landsat")
m

m = geemap.Map() image = ee.Image("LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA/LC08_044034_20140318").select( ["B5", "B4", "B3"] ) vis_params = {"min": 0, "max": 0.5, "gamma": [0.95, 1.1, 1]} m.center_object(image) m.add_layer(image, vis_params, "Landsat") m

Add a rectangle to the map.

In [ ]:

region = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.5955, 37.5339, -122.0982, 37.8252)
fc = ee.FeatureCollection(region)
style = {"color": "ffff00ff", "fillColor": "00000000"}
m.add_layer(fc.style(**style), {}, "ROI")

region = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.5955, 37.5339, -122.0982, 37.8252) fc = ee.FeatureCollection(region) style = {"color": "ffff00ff", "fillColor": "00000000"} m.add_layer(fc.style(**style), {}, "ROI")

To local drive

In [ ]:

geemap.ee_export_image(image, filename="landsat.tif", scale=30, region=region)

geemap.ee_export_image(image, filename="landsat.tif", scale=30, region=region)

Check image projection.

In [ ]:

projection = image.select(0).projection().getInfo()
projection

projection = image.select(0).projection().getInfo() projection

In [ ]:

crs = projection["crs"]
crs_transform = projection["transform"]

crs = projection["crs"] crs_transform = projection["transform"]

Specify region, crs, and crs_transform.

In [ ]:

    image,
    filename="landsat_crs.tif",
    crs=crs,
    crs_transform=crs_transform,
    region=region,
)

geemap.download_ee_image(image, "landsat.tif", scale=90)

Exporting Image Collections¶

Image collections, like time series data, can be filtered and exported as multiple images. Here, a National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) collection is filtered by date and location. The collection can then be saved locally or sent to Google Drive, making it easier to handle large datasets.

In [ ]:

point = ee.Geometry.Point(-99.2222, 46.7816)
collection = (
    ee.ImageCollection("USDA/NAIP/DOQQ")
    .filterBounds(point)
    .filterDate("2008-01-01", "2018-01-01")
    .filter(ee.Filter.listContains("system:band_names", "N"))
)

point = ee.Geometry.Point(-99.2222, 46.7816) collection = ( ee.ImageCollection("USDA/NAIP/DOQQ") .filterBounds(point) .filterDate("2008-01-01", "2018-01-01") .filter(ee.Filter.listContains("system:band_names", "N")) )

In [ ]:

geemap.ee_export_image_collection_to_drive(collection, folder="export", scale=10)

geemap.ee_export_image_collection_to_drive(collection, folder="export", scale=10)

Exporting Feature Collections¶

Feature collections, such as state boundaries, are exportable in multiple formats (e.g., Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV). This example exports the Alaska state boundary as different vector formats both locally and to Google Drive. Additionally, exported data can be directly loaded into a GeoDataFrame for further manipulation in Python.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States")
fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.eq("NAME", "Alaska"))
m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Alaska")
m.center_object(fc, 4)
m

m = geemap.Map() states = ee.FeatureCollection("TIGER/2018/States") fc = states.filter(ee.Filter.eq("NAME", "Alaska")) m.add_layer(fc, {}, "Alaska") m.center_object(fc, 4) m

Creating Timelapse Animations¶

Landsat Timelapse¶

The Landsat timelapse tool creates animations of changes over time. Here, we use a defined region of interest (ROI) to generate timelapse GIFs for Las Vegas (1984-2023):

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
roi = ee.Geometry.BBox(-115.5541, 35.8044, -113.9035, 36.5581)

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
roi = ee.Geometry.BBox(113.8252, 22.1988, 114.0851, 22.3497)
m.add_layer(roi)
m.center_object(roi)
m

m = geemap.Map() roi = ee.Geometry.BBox(113.8252, 22.1988, 114.0851, 22.3497) m.add_layer(roi) m.center_object(roi) m

Sentinel-2 Timelapse¶

This example generates a timelapse of Sentinel-2 data for a selected ROI, with options to draw a custom ROI on the map. The timelapse spans 2017-2023, focusing on the June to September period each year.

In [ ]:

m = geemap.Map()
m

m = geemap.Map() m

Pan and zoom the map to an area of interest. Use the drawing tools to draw a rectangle on the map. If no rectangle is drawn, the default rectangle shown below will be used.

In [ ]:

roi = m.user_roi
if roi is None:
    roi = ee.Geometry.BBox(-74.7222, -8.5867, -74.1596, -8.2824)

MODIS Timelapse¶

The MODIS timelapse can showcase NDVI (vegetation index) or ocean color data over time. In the vegetation example, we visualize NDVI from 2000-2022 with country overlays. The temperature example animates Aqua satellite data for monthly temperature trends from 2018-2020 with continent overlays.
