Google Maps: Basic Geospatial Concepts
5/30/2015

The document discusses Google Earth and its functionality for displaying geographic data compared to GIS systems. It provides an example of how Google Earth was used to display data on a large fire in Myrtle Beach, SC to aid emergency response. Methods for importing and exporting data between Google Earth and GIS systems are also outlined. The document concludes that while both systems can display geographic data, Google Earth provides easy public access while GIS allows for more advanced analysis.

INQUIRY BASED LEARNING

GhoshKajal

This document discusses using Google Earth in the classroom. Google Earth is free software that allows users to explore satellite views of Earth and access photos, facts and videos about different locations. It sparks curiosity about the world and students can even view their own neighborhoods from above. Google Earth is easy to use and presents information in a geographic context, making it suitable for inquiry-based learning across subjects. It functions as a research tool and has tools like search, layers, historical imagery and rulers that allow exploring and measuring locations. The document provides examples of how teachers can create tours and lessons using the different features of Google Earth.

Digital Projects Showcase: Google Earth Engine

Wesley Porter

Google Earth Engine is a powerful geospatial analysis tool that allows end users to leverage the power of the Cloud to work with big data in remote sensing. While lesser known than its cousin Google Earth, Earth Engine has many advantages for prospective users beyond data visualization including: data manipulation, statistical analysis, and development of custom tools for project specific tasks. Earth Engine maintains a wealth of public datasets for users to work with such as Landsat imagery, Digital Elevation Models, and high-resolution aerial imagery. As part of a USDA funded research project at Middle Tennessee State University, Google Earth Engine was used to collect and process hundreds of Landsat images. These images were used to measure crop growth curves which will aid in the development of crop-land-cover GIS datasets for years in which data is unavailable to stakeholders.

The document discusses a Mars-themed poster and logo ideas created by Thomas Cavanagh. The poster was made in Photoshop using Google images and depicts a paper airplane traveling from Earth to Mars, representing a Mars vacation. It uses a "z method" left-to-right reading format and includes a "holiday motel" image representing the main part of the trip. Mind maps were also created for the poster and logo concepts.

Google Earth Web2.0.Key

lindleyh

This document discusses incorporating Google Earth and Web 2.0 apps into geoscience classes. It describes how Google Earth allows students to visualize landscapes using imagery and maps, and measure landscape parameters. Web 2.0 apps like Google Docs enable collaboration on documents. The goals are to develop computer skills, foster curiosity through exploration, and visualize and measure geoscience concepts. Students can construct profiles, measure changes, and observe landscapes from the air and ground.

This document discusses how different urban development patterns like compact versus sprawled growth can impact surface temperature. It presents a model to project spatial temperature distribution based on growth type. The model involves creating suitability maps for different land uses, allocating land according to population projections, and estimating future temperatures. Trees and vegetation are noted as effective ways to reduce heat through shading and evapotranspiration, cooling surfaces by up to 45°F and air by up to 5°C. The model aims to forecast and quantify the temperature effects of future development patterns.

Google Maps and Earth

Lucy Gray

1. The document provides information on using Google Maps and Google Earth, including getting directions, making maps, importing files, and finding and viewing maps. It highlights features like street view, historical images, and integration with other Google products. 2. Examples are given for how Google Maps and Earth could be used educationally, such as creating maps for trips, exploring other countries, plotting routes in films and literature, and designing campus and historical tours. 3. Additional resources are provided at the end for Google workshops and an education group on Diigo to learn more about using Google tools in teaching.

Global land degradation was assessed using satellite data on net primary productivity (NPP) from 1981-2006. Hotspots of degradation covered 25% of global land area, particularly in Africa south of the equator, Southeast Asia, southern China, and northern Australia. Degradation correlated with forest and grassland land uses. Though the analysis has limitations, it indicates large-scale trends that require further local verification of degradation drivers.

Collect earth & earth map

FAO

This document summarizes Collect Earth, a data collection tool integrated with Google Earth that provides free access to very high resolution satellite imagery. It allows users to analyze multi-temporal imagery over 40 years from satellites like Landsat, Sentinel-1, and MODIS. Data is linked between Google Earth Engine, OpenForis, and Saiku for geospatial analysis and data quality control. Collect Earth has been used for agricultural monitoring, socioeconomic data collection, deforestation assessment, forest inventories, and land use change analysis by FAO and partner countries. A new FAO-Google tool called Earth Map provides a simplified interface for historical land cover analysis to support project design, monitoring, and evaluation.
