About this event

Join us for an engaging hands-on training event designed to explore the reliability of OpenStreetMap (OSM) road data within Google Earth Engine (GEE). Discover how to transform OSM data into a powerful ground-truth resource for geospatial analysis. Participants will integrate OSM data with GEE and make comparisons with remotely sensed datasets, focusing on Nakuru County. Learn to leverage community-generated mapping data as a credible source of ground truth and boost your skills in open mapping and geospatial analysis. This session aims to: - Demonstrate the use of OSM data within Google Earth Engine. - Compare OSM road data with Earth observation datasets. - Highlight the value of community-generated data. Make sure you have a Google Earth Engine account activated before attending and some basic GIS knowledge. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your geospatial skills. Register now and be a part of a collaborative effort to improve our understanding and use of open mapping technologies!
