[Tutorial proposal] Species Distribution Modeling Using Google Earth Engine #776

Closed osgeokr closed 6 months ago

osgeokr commented 8 months ago

What is the objective of the proposed tutorial? Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) is a model that uses computer algorithms to predict the distribution of species across geographic spatiotemporal dimensions. The tutorial I propose will introduce how to implement SDM using Google Earth Engine (GEE). I plan to write this content through the Python API, and it is already preliminarily written in the following repository: GitHub. I am confident this tutorial will be useful for environmentalists or ecologists who want to map potential habitats or habitat suitability through GEE.

What is the scope of the proposed tutorial? It can be utilized in various fields, focusing on Ecology.

Please provide an outline of the structure of the proposed tutorial? Section 1: What is Species Distribution Modeling? a. Subsection 1a: Definition of SDM b. Subsection 1b: Workflow of SDM c. Subsection 1c: Introduction to Pitta nympha (Endangered Bird Species) Section 2: GEE-Based SDM: A Case Study on Pitta Nympha Analysis a. Subsection 2a: Collection and Processing of Species Occurrence Data b. Subsection 2b: Defining the Area of Interest c. Subsection 2c: Adding Predictive Variables d. Subsection 2d: Generation of Presence-Absence Data e. Subsection 2e: SDM Model Prediction f. Subsection 2f: Variable Importance and Accuracy Assessment

In what format will you be submitting the tutorial? Select one: Markdown or Colab I will submit it in Colab format.

The tutorial looks great - thanks for proposing!

I took a really quick look at the existing notebook. I think it'll all be fine. Just a couple suggestions:

Please proceed with the next steps and let us know if you have any questions or run into any issues.

Best, Justin
