description=MonitorEO-OBSNEV: open monitoring tool of Essential Biodiversity Variables based on satellite sensors (University of Granada): time series, trends, maps and exports with Google Earth Engine
about=MonitorEO-OBSNEV is an open monitoring tool of Essential Biodiversity Variables based on satellite sensors and models generated by the University of Granada. It enables citizens, managers, and scientists to create maps and graphs of key ecosystem metrics to support decision-making. Computes the variables of MonitorEO with Google Earth Engine (NDVI, EVI, NDWI, LSWI, NDSI, snow cover frequency, cloud frequency, elevation, slope, precipitation, air temperature, water balance and bioclimatic variables (ERA5-Land, TerraClimate, CHIRPS, WorldClim), albedo, land surface temperature, evapotranspiration, LAI, ...) from Sentinel-2, Landsat and MODIS, with their pixel filters (clouds, water, snow, aerosols), grouped by themes (vegetation, water, snow, fire, energy, atmosphere, climate, terrain), over a layer, the map extent, a protected area (WDPA, also only Ramsar sites), an ecoregion, a country, an administrative unit (FAO GAUL) or an island, and only over its pixels that pass conditions on variables (e.g. above 1500 m): time series (table, CSV and chart), maps with queryable values, seasonal trends (Mann-Kendall and Sen), comparison of periods, the burn severity of a fire (dNBR with the classes of the USGS, or the RBR) and exports of GeoTIFF and CSV to Google Drive. By default it computes with the shared Earth Engine account of MonitorEO, with no sign-in (each user has research EECUs for each month, only for research); a bar shows the EECUs of Earth Engine spent this month and it warns when less than 10 percent are left. With the Google account of the user (earthengine authenticate) and their Google Cloud project, it also exports to Google Drive. The same functions as the Python package monitoreo, its MCP server and its R package. A button suggests a change or reports an error, on GitHub or in an anonymous form. --- MonitorEO is an output of the EVEREST Project (PID2023-151939OB-I00), funded by MICIU/AEI 10.13039/501100011033, and co-funded by ERDF – European Union, as well as of the NevadEO Project (C-EXP-074-UGR23), co-funded by the ERDF 2014-2020 Program and the Regional Ministry of Economy, Knowledge, Enterprise, and Universities of the Regional Government of Andalusia. It is also an output of the PRESINMED Project (Preserving the singularity of Mediterranean high-mountain biodiversity hotspots: a NBS approach, PCI 2025-163175) of the Biodiversa+ NBS 2023 call. --- How to cite: Observatorio de Cambio Global de Sierra Nevada (2026).
