ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY USING GLOBAL EARTH ENGINE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

摘要

The emerging of technology, especially analysis using Google Earth Engine, has been giving a paradigm shift of the trend of analysis by considering the recent studies. It was used widely in many fields such as deforestation, water management, forest management, climate monitoring and biophysical studies. Objective: This systematic review was designed to assess the application of Global Earth Engine (GEE) in the global environmental study. It aimed to explore the application of remote sensing study in the GEE environment. Design: A systematic review of qualitative studies and expert opinion publications. Data Sources: A systematic literature search was undertaken of the following databases: Scopus and Web of Science (WOS). All papers reviewed were from 2013 to 2018 and were written in English. Review Methods: We identified 40 studies and expert opinion papers from the selected databases. After reviewing keywords and abstracts for the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 39 papers were selected for review. These were read and reread, with 40 papers, including one thesis, selected for quality appraisal. One paper was discarded due to the exclusion criteria. Results: Three major themes were evident in this study. First, mapping studies, secondly, biophysical model development and thirdly, change detection. Conclusions: The paper concludes with prospects, highlighting the use of datasets, particularly in the fields of environmental study.
