Welcome to the DEA Sandbox

The Digital Earth Australia Sandbox is an environment where you can use DEA Earth Observation data and the Open Data Cube. Your Sandbox is a dedicated virtual machine with 16 GB of RAM and 10 GB of storage. It's perfect for learning and experiments, and it's free!

Clear browser cache: If you are experiencing issues after the latest upgrade, please empty cache and hard reload your Sandbox's browser tab.

Back up regularly: You should always back up your Sandbox files to prevent loss of data. To do this, you can use git or simply right-click a file then click 'Download'.

Check service status: Check the current status of the Sandbox. To report an issue or ask a question, please contact us at Earth.Observation@ga.gov.au
