We're currently in beta testing, we'd love your feedback!
Our platform aggregates datasets from these leading geospatial data providers. While we help streamline data discovery through a unified search experience, all data is accessed through these respected providers, whom we gratefully acknowledge for their contributions to the geospatial community.
The GEE Community Catalog is a grassroots open-source initiative dedicated to democratizing access to geospatial data. Working in parallel with the Google Earth Engine data catalog, this community-driven project collects and processes datasets contributed by researchers and practitioners worldwide. The catalog makes preprocessed research data freely available under various open licenses, helping to bridge the digital divide and make geospatial analysis more accessible to everyone.

The Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) is a comprehensive data catalog maintained by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. It serves as a centralized platform for discovering and sharing global health and demographic data from various sources worldwide. The platform consolidates information from governmental organizations, researchers, and data archives, making it easier for users to find relevant datasets for health and population research.

Google Earth Engine combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities. Scientists, researchers, and developers use Earth Engine to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. Earth Engine is now available for commercial use, and remains free for academic and research use.

NASA's Earth Data platform provides comprehensive Earth observation data from satellite imagery, airborne platforms, field campaigns, and model outputs. Through various partnerships, NASA collects and distributes measurements of Earth's atmosphere, ocean, land, and cryosphere. These datasets support research in climate change, weather patterns, natural disasters, environmental health, and ecological systems.
NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material where applicable. NASA data are freely accessible, but when publishing these data or derivative works, please cite the datasets within your publication and reference list with sufficient detail to enable dataset identification and replication of your work. For complete data provenance, describe in detail how the data were used within your publication.
The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is an open data platform managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) through its Centre for Humanitarian Data. The platform serves as a centralized repository for humanitarian data, enabling organizations and users to share and access critical information for humanitarian response.
