• Module 2: Your First Scripts

      After this module you're able to:

      1. Read and execute simple scripts in Google Earth Engine 
      2. Perform spatial analysis in GEE
      3. Apply thresholding and export raster data from GEE
      4. Visualize time series plots in GEE


      The code for these exercises can be found in this repository under Module 2.

    • Introduction to the Study Area

      The study area for this module is the Miandoab Irrigation Scheme (MIS) located in Urmia Lake Basin (ULB) in northwestern Iran. Watch the video below on the water management issues facing Urmia Lake Basin, as well as a presentation from Dr. Behdad Chehrenegar, Head of Research Division at Urmia Lake Restoration Program (ULRP), on Miandoab and its relevance to the ULRP.



    • Find surface area with elevation higher than 2500 m, inside ULB (using ALOS 30m Global DSM)

    • Find the irrigated area in year 2019 in MIS using thresholding

    • Plot (on click) a time series of monthly precipitation using data from GPM satellites inside MIS.
