This workshop is an introduction to the ‘big data’ analysis capabilities of Google Earth Engine via the Python API, including accessing remote sensing and earth model data collections, calculating spectral indices, and sampling environmental variables for areas of interest.  Using the  'area descriptions' created by the US 'Home Owners' Loan Corporation' (HOLC) in the late 1930s (the origin of the term ‘redlining’ ) that were compiled digitally by the Mapping Inequality project, the workshop characterizes modern day environmental conditions in the different HOLC grades using measures such as land surface temperature, vegetation greenness, and seasonal temperature variations.

Requirements:
A Google Earth Engine Account
A Google account for access to the Collaboratory virtual machine environment
