Analyze geospatial environmental open data

This tutorial is part of the 2021 Call for Code Global Challenge. In this tutorial, learn how to pull 40 years' of global satellite-based soil moisture data from the European Commission, then train a model to compute moisture trends to identify regions that have a high probability to dry out and have droughts. Copernicus is the European Union's Earth observation program, looking at our planet and its environment. It offers information services that draw from satellite Earth observation and in-situ (non-space) data. Vast amounts of global data from satellites and ground-based, airborne, and seaborne measurement systems provide information.
