GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE

MapBiomas uses technology from the GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE platform. We provide scripts to facilitate access to the MapBiomas collections.

To access and run follow the instructions below:

  • With a Gmail account, sign up for the Google Earth Engine Platform through this link https://earthengine.google.com
  • In a few days, you will receive authorization to access the platform.
  • Once registered in Google Earth Engine, insert the link of the scripts you want to run.
  • Change the parameters to get the map you want.

We encourage scripts MapBiomas users to send us their suggestions for innovation so that we can constantly improve it.

TOOLKITS

Quick export tool for final and transitions maps from MapBiomas Trinational Pampa collections

To facilitate access to coverage and transition MapBiomas Trinational Pampa data by year, the MapBiomas project toolkit was created. 

Through this toolkit available on Google Earth Engine, it is possible to export collections by biome boundary, state, county, watershed, protected areas or any other geographic boundary that the user is interested in cutting.

Access the video tutorial to learn how to use the toolkit. Instructions are also available on Github. The following data are currently available:

– LAND USE AND COVERAGE MAPS 

– MAP LEGEND

The RGB color palette for each legend class is also available for use in ArcMap or in QGIS.
