China's Yellowish River Delta



My Yellow River Delta map shows the always changing appearance of the oral cavity of the Huang He (Yellow River) inwards China. Millions of tons of sediment enters the river every year. Much of this sediment is carried every bit far every bit the river's oral cavity where it continually rebuilds the delta.

On the Yellow River Delta map a video overlay loops through a serial of satellite images. These natural-color images, from NASA's Landsat satellites, present the delta at five-year intervals from 1989 to 2009. To occupation my map I turned the images into an mp4 video. I in addition to thence precisely added my video URL into Mapox GL's event Add a Video demo.
