Awesome-EarthObservation-Code

A curated list of awesome tools, tutorials, code, helpful projects, links, stuff about Earth Observation and Geospatial stuff!

The #scenefromabove podcast aimed to be a mix of news, opinion, discussion and interviews. I am no longer involved in the podcast, however it is still going<br>

Latest news

I have written a blog post about how this repo came into being. It includes a video of a talk I gave about it AND a podcast episode devoted to it. http://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/awesome-earthobservation-code/

Please note that this is <b>not</b> offically an awesome list.

<b> Update March 2024</b> Added a load of STAC links and some opendatacube ones. I accept PR's and you get a mention in the contributors file.

<b> A note of caution </b> During the QC of links I note that the vast majority are 18 + months old or considerbly older. Some repos are retired and still visible, some code is > 10 years old. Tread carefully.

Annotations are based on the headers - and where available - on the github accounts

Earth Observation Introduction

If you are not familiar with Earth Observation then these links may help set context before you start using data. I didn't initially aim at including links like these but if you are not familiar with Earth Observation then some good resources to get you going may help prior to diving into code.

Examples come from pretty much all areas dealing with spatiotemporal data. This tutorial will go through a large number of examples to illustrate this idea, mostly focusing on the packages stars and sf and those supporting their classes (like tmap, mapview, gstat, ggplot2).

Great Github accounts

Please do explore these accounts, there are some absolutely brilliant projects on these accounts. This was previously a section containing examples, but these are better grouped into the other headings and repitition of links removed. However I feel its very important to highlight individuals wherever possible, ordered by github account name.

Interesting Non EO parts other languages

This section is aimed more a data science/programming resources that 'might' be applicable to Earth Observation, that are <b>not </b>Python

• Efficient R programming - This is the online version of the O’Reilly book: Efficient R programming. Code is here

Data

I don't really want to add many data resources to this list as it creeps out of scope but this part contains some good data links [not necessarily EO]

• Environmental_Intelligence - Data for Environmental Intelligence: A mega list of Earth System Datasets covering earth observations, climate, water, forests, biodiversity, ecology, protected areas, natural hazards, marine and the tracking of UN's Sustainable Development Goals
• gibs - This is EO
• awesome-gee-community-datasets - Community Datasets added by users and made available for use at large

A footnote on awesome

There are many awesome lists relating to 'Geo'. I use that term as widely as possible. This list is not meant to replace these lists. Earth Observation is still <b>way</b> behind the GIS world in terms of audience, reach, number of users etc. Things are changing though, by bringing these links together I hope you can see that there has been so much progress in the last 5 years. I do hope these links are helpful espcially to those who are new to Earth Observation, but also to people like me who with several years of experience think they may have seen it all - we haven't and there is still so much to learn. Earth Observation is not just an academic 'thing' or a basemap anymore, it forms the basis for a growing and diverse business environment. Lets embrace this.

Finally, I wanted to acknowledge a couple of awesome Earth Observation lists that you may list to check out:

• Awesome Sentinel - curated list of awesome tools, tutorials and APIs for Copernicus Sentinel satellite data
