The geemap package-
geemap is a Python package for interactive mapping with Google Earth Engine (GEE), which is a cloud computing platform with a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets.
geemap is intended for students and researchers, who would like to utilize the Python ecosystem of diverse libraries and tools to explore Google Earth Engine. It is also designed for existing GEE users who would like to transition from the GEE JavaScript API to Python API. The automated JavaScript-to-Python conversion module of the geemap package can greatly reduce the time needed to convert existing GEE JavaScripts to Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks. For video tutorials and notebook examples, please visit the examples page. For complete documentation on geemap modules and methods, please visit the API Reference.(Source: geemap.org)
This package promises a lots of ready to use capabilities that are quite useful and helps in decision making. This package has been developed by Dr. Qiusheng Wu, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, all kudos and credits to him.
