With roughly 200 Dove satellites in orbit, PlanetScope Monitoring provides a high-resolution, continuous, and complete view of the world from above, every day. Planet Monitoring provides 3.7 meter resolution images of the entire Earth daily. Access to these ready-to-use images is made simple with Planet’s APIs, web application, and GIS integrations.

Join us for a 3-hour workshop centered around improving your skills using Planetscope Daily Imagery, with a focus on using Planet's APIs and image processing with Python. This event is designed for those keen on advancing their understanding of leveraging Planetscope Imagery, at scale, for research and teaching.

This workshop will include interactive exercises using the Planet API, QGIS, and ArcGIS Pro. If you need help accessing any of these resources, please contact the MIT GIS team for support.

This workshop will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link in your confirmation email.
