<a href="http://www.aag.org/cs/annualmeeting/schedule_and_program/field_trips_workshops/workshops">
CyberGIS Education Workshop</a> (1-5 pm April 24).  This free workshop will introduce the Google Earth Engine (GEE) API and showcase its capability through a hands-on section where we will work through some scripts that are used in snow cover trend analysis.
 We recommend that you browse through the workshop <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/globalsnowobservatory/aag-workshop">

 email in your Gmail account indicating that you have access to GEE. The request for access to GEE should be submitted no later than April 17.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
