Project Overview

Earth Engine Dataset Explorer

An important part of automating geospatial workflows is identifying which datasets are most relevant given specific geospatial queries. As such, our initial focus has been to build a dataset exploration tool to help users find the datasets that are most suitable for their analysis needs. Now more than ever, geospatial analysis and environmental insights are crucial to addressing the risks of climate change, and we hope that empowering analysts to more easily find the right information will have a positive impact on building towards a more sustainable future.

We're excited to release this experimental dataset explorer to the Earth Engine community, and hope it proves valuable for your geospatial analysis needs. We welcome your feedback, suggestions, and questions at [email protected]. We would like this tool to grow and evolve with community involvement, so we encourage you to explore, experiment, and build upon it. We'd love to hear how you're using the agent and any improvements you've made!

Project Goals and Impact

This project focuses on a few goals, both within and outside the scope of the hackathon:

  • Democratizing Geospatial Analysis: The dataset explorer tool aims to make geospatial analysis more accessible to a wider audience by simplifying the often challenging task of identifying relevant datasets.
  • Accelerating Scientific Discoveries: By enabling analysts to quickly locate suitable datasets, the dataset explorer aims to significantly accelerate research and discovery, particularly in fields like climate change research where timely insights are crucial.
  • Fostering Community Collaboration: The Science AI team actively encourages feedback and contributions from the Earth Engine community to ensure that the dataset explorer tool evolves to meet the needs of its users. They encourage users to "explore, experiment, and build upon it" and share feedback at [email protected].
