Using geemap with Google Colab¶

Instructions¶

To use geemap and the Earth Engine Python API, you must register for an Earth Engine account and follow the instructions here to create a Cloud Project. Earth Engine is free for noncommercial and research use.

Install geemap¶

In [ ]:

%pip install geemap

Import libraries¶

In [ ]:

import ee
import geemap

Create an interactive map¶

Running the following cell will start the Earth Engine authentication. Follow the instructions here to authenticate Earth Engine.

In [ ]:

Map = geemap.Map()

Add Earth Engine data¶

In [ ]:

# Add Earth Engine dataset
image = ee.Image("USGS/SRTMGL1_003")

# Set visualization parameters.
vis_params = {
    "min": 0,
    "max": 4000,
    "palette": "terrain",
}

# Add Earth Engine layers to Map
Map.addLayer(image, vis_params, "DEM")

# Center the map based on an Earth Engine object or coordinates (longitude, latitude)
Map.setCenter(86.9250, 27.9881, 4)
Map

If you can see the map above, you have successfully authenticated the Earth Engine Python API. Otherwise, you might need to follow the instructions here to create a Cloud Project, which is required to use the Earth Engine Python API.
