Analysis of big earth sciences data through cloud computing

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform that has revolutionized the field of remote sensing with its high-speed computing power and simple use. It is spread across 66,000 CPUs for parallel computation access to its users. It has a massive catalogue of datasets available for users that were once mined from different sites and has an efficient workbench environment for algorithm developments, processing the datasets, and crowdsourcing. GEE also helps in pixel-based image classification used in a variety of projects and can also run a number of sophisticated algorithms like random forest, regression tree, support vector machine, Naive Bayes, and GMO max entropy.
