About Earth Engine Data Catalog

The Earth Engine Data Catalog is a public collection of Earth science datasets, mainly raster data, with some vector data. Users can import these datasets into their script environment with a single click. The catalog includes satellite imagery, digital elevation models, land cover maps, climate data, and atmospheric measurements from sources such as Landsat, Sentinel, MODIS, and NOAA.

The catalog also includes region-specific datasets, such as those covering Greenland, the Netherlands, Australia, the Arctic, China, and the United States. Topics include environmental monitoring of forest cover, fire activity, drought, surface water, and urban heat islands, as well as human activity datasets such as population distribution and infrastructure mapping. Users can also upload their own raster or vector data for private use or for sharing in their scripts. The catalog does not include every dataset, and users can suggest new ones.
