Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a cloud-based platform designed to process and analyze vast amounts of geospatial data. With access to a rich archive of remote sensing imagery, climate datasets, and geographic information, GEE empowers researchers, conservationists, and policymakers to address critical environmental and biodiversity challenges. This primer introduces GEE, its Python API, and how GBIF users can leverage these tools for biodiversity informatics.
