Hi community,

We've written a new blog post offering tips and tools for working the California Forest Observatory data using cloud- and browser-based geospatial software:

https://salo.ai/blog/2021/02/cfo-cloud

This includes overviews and examples of working with:

Cloud-optimized geotiffs (COGs)
Google Earth Engine
SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC)
the CFO python API

Accompanying this tutorial is a Jupyter Notebook that walks through using each of these. You can either follow along via github or you can clone the repository and run the notebook yourself.

We hope you find these resources useful. We're dedicated to developing and providing high quality conservation tech tools, and we hope these resources makes it easier for you to do your job with the best data available.
