This deposit comprises open-source JavaScript code which can be run in the free tool Google Earth Engine. It analyses change between (open-source) Sentinel-2 satellite images for the period 2018-2023. Changes at user-selected locations in vegetation, water extent and overall change magnitude can be investigated and downloaded using the layers which this code generates.
