This is an incredible tool. I know there are other ways to look at timelapses of aerial views but this is just so easy and useable.
Watching the change of specific suburban areas in the US brings a lot of negative emotions for me. Seeing what used to be green areas slowly transform into more suburban sprawl, I can't help but think of the number of species who experienced their ecosystem's walls closing in on them.
As someone who builds a lot of data visualizations, this would be in my top experiences for the category. It's in a way... an art piece.
- OrbitRock 5y agoI’m into geospatial science, and I get so much aesthetic appreciation out of it. It is super artistic. The earth is beautiful!
- samstave 5y agoAgreed, and great username. I cant wait to see what everyone, including myself can create with this! EDIT; This should be one of the most important augmenting data tools for Environmental Impact studies. Take a site that was built at the beginning of this dataset - which had an EIS done, compare the results seen in this tool to the predictions in the EIS... and use that for MANY EIS which had some of the same impact or variables and see how the surroundings compare etc...
- dekerta 5y agoHasn't this tool been available at https://earthengine.google.com/timelapse/ https://earthengine.google.com/timelapse/ for several years now?
- OrbitRock 5y agoYep, but now it’s on Google Earth instead of Google Earth Engine
- skybrian 5y agoWhat's an example that you particularly like?
