Awesome-EarthObservation-Code

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

This list was started based on #scenefromabove podcast lunchtime discussions

Please note that this is not offically an awesome list (yet). Please help me to get it there by contributing and commenting. guidelines

Update June 2020 We now have almost 400 links/resources! The focus is to discuss resorting and ordering all these links and potentially reclassifiying where needed many links are in the 'Python processing of optical imagery non deep learning' section and this potentially could be broken up. A podcast will discuss this before July.

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

Alastair Graham @ajggeoger and Andrew Cutts @map_andrew come together to present an informal podcast @eoscenefrom looking at the world of modern remote sensing and EO. Fuelled by their passion for all things raster and geospatial, the #scenefromabove podcast aims to be a mix of news, opinion, discussion and interviews.

However I feel its very important to highlight individuals wherever possible, ordered by github account name.

Interesting Non EO parts Python

This bit could potentially become the most valuable resource. Lets not ignore other sectors/industries/data science, instead lets embrace it and learn from all that other amazing stuff! This my prelude to saying we are earth data scientists

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 not Python

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

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 way 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:
