rgee is a powerful R-package that allows you to access and manipulate data from Google Earth Engine. Google Earth Engine hosts a massive number of spatial datasets and offers the possiblity of processing huge amounts of data online, without the need for local processing power. To get a feeling for the different datasets, check out the catalog. In this repository, I compiled a few R-scripts that exemplify how you can use the rgee package to access, manipulate, and download data from Google Earth Engine. The repository comprises three files:

• 00_GettingStarted.r: A simple introduction to the basic syntax of rgee and how you can specify an area of interest, access a dataset, filter to a desired range of dates, and download the respective data.
• 01_Precipitation.r: Example where we access and download precipitation data from the CHIRPS dataset.
• 02_Temperature.r: Example where we access and download temperature data from the ERA5 dataset.
• 03_DigitalElevationModel.r: Example where we access and visualize a digital elevation model.
