Have you heard about Google Earth Engine Timelapse? The Google team has layered satellite imagery of earth over several decades (generally back to the early 1980’s). This shows how landscapes have been changed over the time.
You can for example look at how the Dubai coast has changed, or how the Columbia Glacier has retreated over three decades.
You can even look at your hometown change by scrolling on the world map and zooming on your favorite place!
Simply awesome – remember that the first TV image of earth dates back only to 1960!
I strongly believe that our environmental mind has significantly changed the day we’ve seen pictures of our blue planet floating in a dark void in the 1960’s. Will this initiative further create a small revolution in our perception of our environment?
