How up-to-date is your data, and how far back does it go?
Earth Blox uses Google Earth Engine's data archive, giving you access to more than 40 years of historical imagery and scientific datasets, updated and expanded daily. Learn more about the datasets here.

How much storage do we get?
We have a fair use policy, meaning you get unlimited use provided it is within the limits of this policy. It is unlikely you will exceed the limits, but if you'd like to know more contact us.

Is Earth Engine reliable, will Google continue to support it?
We believe so. Earth Engine is over a decade old and earlier this year (2022) Google announced it is opening up the platform to businesses and governments for commercial use, so it now a part of Google Cloud's business offerings. Read more about what this means for Earth Blox customers here.
