This video shows how to use the STAC API Browser Plugin in QGIS to search for Sentinel-2 or Landsat images for an AOI and load the images as Cloud Optimized GeoTiffs (COGs). We also cover how to create virtual rasters and clip them to create a mosaic. Finally, we save the result as a regular GeoTiff file on your computer that can be used for further analysis. The entire process leverages the cloud-native geospatial workflow, saving time and data transfer.
