Welcome to the Digital Earth Australia Sandbox
The Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Sandbox is a learning and analysis environment for getting started with DEA data and our Open Data Cube. The DEA Sandbox includes sample data and Jupyter Notebooks that allow you to experiment with DEA's Earth Observation datasets and explore proof-of-concept applications. A DEA Sandbox user guide is available here.
The DEA Sandbox is free to use, and provides a managed environment with 2 cores, 16GB of RAM, 10GB of storage, and pre-installed Python packages. The DEA Sandbox also includes Jupyter Notebook user guides to help you get started with DEA. Information about DEA Sandbox support and outages can be found on our website.
The DEA Sandbox is not a production environment. The default notebooks provided are refreshed each time you log in, meaning any changes made to these notebooks may be lost. We strongly encourage you back up your work (e.g. to GitHub, or by downloading it to your local machine) each time you log in. Please note that if you have not logged into your account in the past 90 days, we will consider your account as inactive and may remove any data saved in your account. We may also remove accounts that we consider have been misusing the DEA Sandbox as explained in the Disclaimer.
By logging in to the DEA Sandbox, you acknowledge that you have read the full Disclaimer. We may collect personal information as part of the registration process; see our privacy notice for more information. Find out more about DEA, the datasets we offer and other ways to access our data on our website. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at EarthObservationMail.
