Loading Landsat 8 data into Google Earth Engine

GEE is a pretty amazing resource for viewing and analysing massive amounts of earth observation data. But you need to be able to code a little javascript to get started... Here's something to get you going with Landsat 8 imagery. The code that I use in the video is below. Let me know in the comments how you go with it? // Let’s define the image collection we are working with by writing this command. // We are creating a new variable 'image' that will come from the L8 collection we have imported var image = ee.Image(L8 // We will then include a filter to get only images in the date range we are interested in .filterDate("2019-07-01", "2021-10-30") // Next we include a geographic filter to narrow the search to images at the location of our ROI point .filterBounds(ROI) // Next we will also sort the collection by a metadata property, in our case cloud cover is a very useful one .sort("CLOUD_COVER") // Now lets select the first image out of this collection - i.e. the most cloud free image in the date range .first()); // And let's print the image to the console. print("A L8 scene:", image); // Define visualization parameters in a JavaScript dictionary for true colour rendering. // Bands 4,3, and 2 are needed for RGB (true colour composite). var trueColour = { bands: ["B4", "B3", "B2"], min: 5000, max: 12000 }; // Centre the scene to the ROI Map.centerObject(ROI, 12); // Add the image to the map, using the visualization parameters. Map.addLayer(image, trueColour, "true-colour image");
