Description:
SEPAL is a free and open source cloud computing-based platform developed by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). SEPAL allows users to efficiently query and process satellite data, tailor their products for local needs, and produce sophisticated and relevant geospatial analyses quickly. It is a combination of Google Earth Engine and open source ORFEO Toolbox, Python, Jupyter, GDAL, R, R Studio Server, R Shiny Server, SNAP Toolkit, and OpenForis Geospatial Toolkit. Via SEPAL, users have access to cloud-computing resources to perform a variety of analyses useful for forestry, agriculture and land monitoring. The session will demonstrate the functionality of the SEPAL interface to create Sentinel 1 and 2 composites and a classified land cover map. High spatial resolution Planet data from the NICFI data program will also be used. Advanced functionality using Jupyter notebooks will be discussed, time allowing.

Participants are requested to sign up for sepal.io and for Google Earth Engine.
