Landsat Lens allows yous to explore how the globe has changed yesteryear allowing yous to compare Lansat satellite imagery from vi unlike years. The map allows yous to search for whatever place on globe together with hence overlay satellite imagery of your selected place from 1975, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010 & 2015.
For representative the screenshot higher upward shows a map of the Aral Sea amongst iv unlike satellite images from iv unlike decades. Being able to straight compare satellite images from unlike decades inwards this way actually helps to highlight the scale of how speedily the Aral Sea is disappearing.
Other locations roughly the public that cause got seen drastic changes over the terminal few decades tin hold upward viewed using the quick links inwards the map sidebar.
The School of Geosciences at Sydney University has released the outset interactive map of seafloor geology. Seafloor Lithology allows yous to explore seafloor lithologies based on well-nigh 14,500 samples taken from the world's seas together with oceans.
Seafloor Lithology includes 3 unlike map views: an interactive 2nd map, an oblique map projection (which allows yous to stance seafloor elevation) together with a 3d Cesium globe view. The 3d globe stance too allows yous to explore the topography of the seafloor inwards 3d (use ctrl & the left mouse push clit to rotate the photographic television set camera stance roughly a point).
The map cardinal explains the colors used for the seafloor's unlike geologies. The map cardinal is a footling modest exactly if yous click on the cardinal it volition opened upward inwards a legible size inwards a form window.
Cities at Night is an endeavour to collate together with portion nighttime fourth dimension images of the globe captured yesteryear astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 major business office of Cities at Night is a citizen scientific discipline projection inwards which anyone tin aid position the exact locations depicted inwards photographs yesteryear ISS astronauts. By contributing to the projection yous tin aid to hit a amend map of worldwide low-cal pollution.
You tin stance some of the already geo-located photos of the globe at nighttime on the Gallery of Interactive Maps. The gallery includes a seat out of maps of major cities inwards which ISS night-time photos cause got been overlaid on exceed of a map of the cities. For representative inwards the screenshot higher upward yous tin run across the huge total of low-cal pollution inwards the metropolis of London.
