Google Earth Engine
About
Google Earth Engine is Google Cloud's platform for analyzing satellite imagery and geospatial data at planetary scale. It pairs a catalog of 90+ petabytes of analysis-ready data, including Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, terrain, land cover and climate layers, with parallel computation, and is used from a JavaScript Code Editor or a Python API. Users import their own rasters and tables and export results to BigQuery, Cloud Storage or Drive. In AEC it serves environmental and site analysis: screening land for flood, wildfire and land-cover change before design begins.
How teams use it
By audience
- Environmental Engineering
- Environmental engineers map flood extent, surface water and wildfire history over a project area from Sentinel, Landsat and FIRMS data before permitting.
- Teams track land-cover change and vegetation loss across a site over decades of imagery to support environmental baseline and compliance reports.
- Planning
- Planners screen candidate sites for flood, drought and wildfire exposure and for land-use change before acquisition or master planning.
- Earth Engine Apps let planners share an interactive map of an analysis with clients and stakeholders who do not code.
- Sciences
- Environmental scientists run remote-sensing analyses, such as land-cover classification or NDVI time series, on thousands of machines without downloading imagery.
- Scientists combine their own GeoTIFF or shapefile uploads with the public catalogue to derive site-specific datasets.
- Surveying/Geomatics
- Geomatics staff pull terrain, elevation and high-resolution aerial imagery such as NAIP for a corridor and export it as GeoTIFF to GIS tools.
- Results export to Cloud Storage, Drive or BigQuery for use in the firm's own GIS and data pipelines.
By phase
- Concept & Planning
- During feasibility, teams screen sites against decades of satellite imagery, terrain, land-cover and climate-hazard layers.
- Environmental baselines for a site are built from the public catalogue before design starts.
