SAR data, QGIS and Google Earth Engine | burdGIS

If oil spills in the sea and no one's there to see it does it make a slick? Well, maybe. And maybe we can see it with #SAR imagery. In this video we'll use Google Earth Engine, #geemap, #python and #QGIS to travel by map to Nigeria and look at pixels in the sea. I also butcher the Dutch language as an added bonus. This video is based on the substack post by Line of Actual Control and you can find the original here:

My man came all the way to my country, what a visit... must have seen your mouse arrow flown across if I had stared harder into the sky.

Very nice presentation. Makes fun to watch and learn. Thanks. :D

Hey bro!! Thanks a lot for sharing this video!!! really appreciate!! I am just wondering if that's possible to export the GEE map as a VRT layer or a TIFF file? I tried on my Desktop but failed.

Hi, very good video. I'm very new to the field of GIS, GEE and stuff like this, hence it would be super cool if you could do a more detailed video about the geemaps thing, virtual Environments an such. Thanks!

Great demo. I wonder if you could show how to save the raster layer in a folder after the analysis is done using Python coding in QGIS? Thanks
