# Summary | ||
|
||
**geemap** is a Python package for interactive mapping with [Google Earth Engine](https://earthengine.google.com/) (GEE), | ||
which is a cloud computing platform with a [multi-petabyte catalog](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/) | ||
of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, NAIP) [@Gorelick2017]. During the past few years, | ||
GEE has become very popular in the geospatial community and it has empowered numerous environmental applications at local, regional, | ||
and global scales. Some of the notable environmental applications include mapping global forest change [@Hansen2013], | ||
global urban change [@Liu2020], global surface water change [@Pekel2016], wetland inundation dynamics [@Wu2019], vegetation | ||
phenology [@Li2019], and time series analysis [@Kennedy2018]. | ||
|
||
GEE provides both JavaScript and Python APIs for making computational requests to the Earth Engine servers. | ||
Compared with the comprehensive [documentation](https://earthengine.google.com/) and interactive IDE | ||
(i.e., [GEE JavaScript Code Editor](https://code.earthengine.google.com/)) of the GEE JavaScript API, the | ||
GEE Python API lacks good documentation and functionality for visualizing results interactively. | ||
The **geemap** Python package is created to fill this gap[. It is built upon | ||
[ipyleaflet](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet) and [ipywidgets](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets), | ||
enabling GEE users to analyze and visualize Earth Engine datasets interactively with Jupyter notebooks. | ||
|
||
# geemap Audience | ||
|
||
**geemap** is intended for students and researchers, who would like to utilize the Python ecosystem of diverse libraries and | ||
tools to explore Google Earth Engine. It is also designed for existing GEE users who would like to transition from the GEE | ||
JavaScript API to Python API. The automated JavaScript-to-Python [conversion module](https://github.com/giswqs/geemap/blob/master/geemap/conversion.py) | ||
of the **geemap** package can greatly reduce the time needed to convert existing GEE JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks. | ||
|
||
# geemap Functionality | ||
|
||
The interactive mapping functionality of the **geemap** package is built upon [ipyleaflet](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipyleaflet) and [folium](https://github.com/python-visualization/folium), both of which rely on Jupyter notebooks for creating interactive maps. A key difference between ipyleaflet and folium is that ipyleaflet is built upon ipywidgets and allows bidirectional communication between the front-end and the backend enabling the use of the map to capture user input, while folium is meant for displaying static data only [@QuantStack2019]. It should be noted that [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/) currently does not support ipyleaflet. Therefore, if one wants to use **geemap** on Google Colab, one should use `import geemap.eefolium as geemap`, which provides limited interactive mapping functionality. To utilize the full interactive mapping functionality of **geemap**, one should use `import geemap` on a local computer or secured server with Jupyter notebook installed. | ||
|
||
The key functionality of **geemap** is organized into several modules: | ||
|
||
- [geemap](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html#module-geemap.geemap): the main module for interactive mapping with Google Earth Engine, ipyleaflet, and ipywidgets. | ||
|
||
- [eefolium](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html#module-geemap.eefolium): a module for interactive mapping with Earth Engine and folium. It is designed for users to run geemap with Google Colab. | ||
|
||
- [conversion](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html#module-geemap.conversion): utilities for automatically converting Earth Engine JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks. | ||
|
||
- [basemaps](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html#module-geemap.basemaps): a module for adding various XYZ and WMS tiled basemaps. | ||
|
||
- [legends](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html#module-geemap.legends): a module for adding customized legends to interactive maps. | ||
|
||
# geemap Tutorials | ||
|
||
Various tutorials and documentation are available for using **geemap**, including: | ||
|
||
- [20+ video tutorials with corresponding notebook examples](https://github.com/giswqs/geemap/tree/master/examples) | ||
- [360+ Jupyter notebook examples using Google Earth Engine](https://github.com/giswqs/earthengine-py-notebooks) | ||
- [Complete documentation on geemap modules and methods](https://geemap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/geemap.html) | ||
