Aurora boreal

Aurora App-Center

Paisaje patagónico

Aurora App-Center is a free platform made up of web applications and interactive viewers built with Google Earth Engine, designed for spatial ecosystem analysis

The web applications process satellite imagery and transform large volumes of complex data into clear, usable information, addressing challenges in natural resource management and environmental monitoring


The interactive viewers display the results of spatial models through dynamic visualizations, making it easier to understand environmental phenomena and supporting informed decision-making
