Earthblox

Effortless, no-code access to the power of Google Earth Engine.  

Earth Blox gives you commercial access to Google Earth Engine’s entire catalogue of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets, and you don’t need to be an expert in Python or JavaScript to use it.

Earth Blox brings you access to Google Earth Engine’s petabytes of planetary scale data sets with a drag-and-drop ‘no-code’ interface that anyone can use.

EarthBlox access is often arranged by your department, but you can email j.barbrook@lancaster.ac.uk for access to be arranged as an individual student or staff member.

Use the Access EarthBlox link to log in.

Guidance and Documentation can be found at the EarthBlox Knowledgebase which includes worked examples to get you started.

Available Datasets

Google Earth Engine's data archive contains more than 30 years of historical imagery and scientific datasets, updated and expanded daily. It contains over forty petabytes of geospatial datasets that you can access quickly and easily in Earth Blox's drag-and-drop, no-code interface.

Including Land, Terrain, Temperature, Fire, Weather and Population datasets from Landsat, Sentinal, Terra and Aqua Satellites.

There are over 800 data sets on Google's Earth Engine.  Earth Blox can access all of them, but it is optimised to make it easy to access and analyse a collection of commonly used data sets. These are described in What data is available in Earth Blox? : Earth Blox Support
