Google Presents Environmental Application at COP16

Today at COP16 in Cancun, Mexico, Google.org has presented its latest philanthropic project, the "Google Earth Engine", a tool for analysis of parascientists of the Earth and conservationists.

Google.org calls its product "a planet-scale platform for environmental data and analytics," on the environmental app's page it says:

"The Google Earth Engine brings together satellite images of the world – trillions of scientific data over 25 years old – and makes them available"

The Google Earth Engine API – only available to approved partners at the moment – was also introduced to help researchers develop, access and run algorithms throughout the archive on Earth. There is also a part available to the common public, where we can know the real situation of the destruction of forests and forests and apply local and global measures to reverse the damage.

The announcement included the news that Mexico was the first nation to join the project, which today allows the most detailed map in the world on the levels of deforestation that exist in the country.

With the application you can create maps that show what ecosystems exist and where there are spaces that need help, reports and illustrations that show the changes in the surface of the earth over time, and visualize the use of land as the activity of agriculture changes as a response to the lack of water, sea level rise and other problems arising as a result of climate change.
