Google Earth Engine in QGIS - QGIS GEE 01 | burdGIS

Did you read that title right? Yes, yes you did. The awesome power of Google Earth Engine right there in your QGIS desktop. I'm not clever enough to make that happen but Gennadii Donchyts and the GEE-community are. Here we look at how to install the plugin and start playing with Google Earth Engine datasets.

If you enjoyed this video you can support the channel and buy me a coffee using this link:

Be aware that cloud cover can affect NO2 readings in Sentinel5P data:

You can find the plugin homepage here:

earth engine project is a brilliant project that Google company publicize it and that plugin did a great job by connecting QGIS and GEE together :D thx for share this video .

[malcolmafonso]

Thanks buddy. I was just starting to explore GEE plugin for QGIS and this happens to be a good start. Cheers!!!!

[geoafrikana]

Great video. I like how you are teaching us how to use the docs.

[tmmy-Sun]

love you so much!! high quality contents

[charlesphilip]

Thanks you so much you videos are very educative simple and straight forward

[GennadiiDonchyts]

Thanks a lot for making this video! :-)

[divyasrini]

You videos are extremely good and useful. Thank you for the videos and your effort.
Could you please put up a tutorial for river basin delineation in QGIS using HydroSHEDS dataset and Sentinel-1 ? How to calculate MNDWI in Sentinel-1 and 2 (In Sentinel-2, the concerned bands have different resolution). Your channel will be the first to show how to integrate EE/QGIS/Python for hydrology.

I think it would have helped in the description and the voice over if we the end user knew we had to have a google earth engine specific account so as not find this exercise awkward or is that part of a subliminal test of the users?

I keep getting an error that starts with "Couldn't load plugin 'ee_plugin' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method
", any help video on fixing this?

[mwijreo]

Hi! I was wondering if there's a way to load an image collection. For example, I need to load 1 year of Sentinel imagery for one tile to get the reflectance values from certain points. I find it easier sampling the points using QGIS rather than coding in GEE, but when I try adding the image collection (with all the necessary filters aplied) I only get one gray polygon of the corresponding tile.

I have a problem with the authentication
It keeps giving me the error below after pasting the code

Someone know why the icon identify features does not work in qgis with the plugin earth engine?

[fahaddalbouh]

Thanks burdGIS for this awesome video. I am getting an error after passing the authorization token to QGIS. the error massage was "couldn't load plugin 'ee_plugin' due to an error when calling it's classFactory () method. Any suggestions will be appreciated
