Introduction to the Earth Engine API Presenter: Tyler Erickson Description: The Earth Engine API (application programming interface) provides the ability to create your own algorithms to process raster and vector imagery. This session is geared toward people who would like to analyze satellite and vector data. The session will be hands-on, using the Earth Engine Javascript programming environment ("the Playground"). Prerequisites: Familiarity with at least one software language, or at least not be afraid of learning as we go.
Advanced Earth Engine API Presenter: Nick Clinton Description: This session will cover advanced analysis topics such as reducing data, joining datasets, and charting. This session is intended for users with prior experience with Google Earth Engine. Prerequisites: Introduction to Earth Engine or extensive prior experience using the Earth Engine Javascript API

While this is taught for non-programmers by a non-programmer, we will work with snippets of code copied-and-pasted from the developers.google.com website. Prerequisites: Comfort opening an HTML page, but no prior JavaScript coding necessary. 3:30-4pm: Plenary Presentation (video) Presenter: Dr. Hugh Sturrock, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

Prerequisites: Comfort opening an HTML page, but no prior JavaScript coding necessary. Field Mobile Data Collection and Open Data Kit Presenter: Tanya Birch Description: Open Data Kit is a set of tools that allows you to collect field data, such as text, photos/videos, and GPC location from an Android device where there's no internet connection and then publish that data to the web when you're back online. Once you've gathered your field data, we will map and visualize them. We will also be covering some Android and mobile tips and tricks to help you select phones, manage them, and some useful geo apps and general purpose utilities. Prerequisites: None. Break
11:30am-1pm: Breakout Session 3
Integrating Earth Engine with other tools Presenter: Dave Thau Description: Learn how to integrate Earth Engine with Fusion Tables and QGIS Prerequisites: Google Earth Engine 101. Prior experience using the Earth Engine Javascript API is helpful as well. Building an Earth Engine-based web application with Google App Engine Presenter: Max Heinritz Description: All of the websites that call Earth Engine, like Global Forest Watch, the Map of Life, and in fact the Earth Engine Playground, use Google App Engine to host the sites and connect to Earth Engine. Learn how this is done so you can deploy your own Earth Engine enabled site. Prerequisites: Introduction to Google Earth Engine. Prior experience using the Google Maps API is useful as well.
Advanced Earth Engine topics Presenter: Noel Gorelick Description: Earth Engine API experts get to fire questions at Earth Engine's first engineer, Noel Gorelick Prerequisites: Prior experience using the Earth Engine Javascript API. Earth Engine, Python & IPython/Jupyter Notebooks Presenter: Tyler Erickson Description: This session will cover developing algorithms using the Earth Engine Python API and will cover using IPython Notebooks for algorithm development.

Arrays and Matrices in Earth Engine Presenter: Nick Clinton Description: Arrays, matrices, and linear algebra in general are powerful tools in Earth Engine, and a bit tricky to learn. Get a deep dive into advanced applications in Earth Engine using arrays and matrices. Prerequisites: Introduction to Earth Engine API and Advanced Earth Engine API Advanced Earth Engine client-side web development Presenter: Max Heinritz Description: Learn how to build websites with the Earth Engine JavaScript Client Library, the Google Maps API, and the Google Visualization API. Unlike the App Engine approach, client-side web apps require end users to have an Earth Engine account. Prerequisites: Introduction to Google Earth Engine. Prior experience using the Google Maps API is useful as well. Familiarity with JavaScript preferred but not required.

Then you'll learn how to export your data for graphing, mapping, and visualization. Prerequisites: None, though we won't spend much time on actual field data collection, so take the 101 course for that. Timelapse Tours Presenter: Yen-Chia Hsu Description: Timelapse Earth builds on Earth Engine to show three decades of planetary change, both man-made and natural.
