DEA for developers Get started with our data
Your space to play with satellite data
Welcome to the DEA Sandbox
The DEA Sandbox is a learning and analysis environment for getting started with Digital Earth Australia (DEA) and our Open Data Cube.
It includes sample data and Jupyter Notebooks that demonstrate the capability of the Open Data Cube. The Sandbox is free to use.
Follow our guides
Get an introduction to Jupyter Notebooks, Digital Earth Australia, and how to load, plot and interact with our data.
See Notebooks on our baseline satellite data and derived products, including how to load each data product and special features of the data.
Explore DEA's satellite data and products using interactive applications that require little or no coding to run.
A recipe book of simple code examples demonstrating how to perform common geospatial analysis tasks using DEA and open source software.
From detecting change in forests to monitoring chlorophyll in waterbodies, see code demonstrations of how DEA can be used to address real-world problems.
See real-time reporting metrics on the latency, user statistics, storage and web service performance of DEA products.
