  1. Google Earth Engine Collaboration with EIGS January 25, 2011

  2. Opportunity • Google’s non-profit division agreed to partner with EIGS • Google is seeking project ideas from our members to use the Google Earth Engine cloud • Google is ONLY offering up processing time on this cloud to ideas they approve • Google Earth Engine is not the same as the Google Earth Desktop and Browser Viewer

  3. What is Google Earth Engine? • 1,000-machine remote sensing processing cloud • Largest geospatial platform ever created • Google is loading ALL Landsat and MODIS data into the system with other sets coming in the future • So far access has only been granted to 4 scientific teams worldwide (not including EIGS) • Unscientific benchmark: a 15,000 hour job completed in less than 24 hours

  4. Why did Google Do It? • Priority is environmental studies • Official Google Earth Engine site: http://earthengine.googlelabs.com • Announcement on Google’s Blog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/introducing-google-earth-engine.html • Google’s videos about the concept: http://www.google.org/earthengine

  5. How will this work? • Interested parties must sign an NDA • Member organizations submit project ideas to EIGS (Joseph Brogdon – jbrogdon@magnolia-ba.biz) • EIGS will submit to Google • We go from there

  6. Suggestions • Environmental focus • Bring something to the table (i.e. federal involvement/funding, significant research partners) • Submit as many good ideas as you want • Tie it to a research contract like SBIR. Tell the feds you may have this as a resource. Tell Google you may have NASA (or other agency) as a partner.

  7. Technical Overview • PURE Java based • Essentially pure mathematics • Desktop development toolkit to test your idea if selected
