Install
pip install geemapAbout geemap
geemap, by Qiusheng Wu, wraps the Google Earth Engine Python API in an interactive mapping package built for notebooks: browse and query EE's petabytes of satellite data, run analyses (surface-water dynamics, flood extents, ET, snow cover), and export results — with hundreds of tutorial notebooks that have become the de facto EE curriculum.
For water engineers, it is the lowest-friction path to questions like "how has this reservoir's surface area changed since 1990" using JRC Global Surface Water or Landsat directly, no downloads involved.
