Google Earth Timelapse: a better understanding of Earth’s dynamic changes.

Something new.

[Also, we were tweeted by NASA… so I’m going to stop the blog.]

Turning petabytes of satellite imagery over 37 years into an interactive experience in product, on the web, and an interactive installation at the UN. Timelapse in Google Earth provides visual evidence that climate and human behavior are changing Earth.

Our team worked on the original idea, product design/ux, designing, writing, sound, comms & the main time-lapse camera moves and sequences…. plus a bunch of other stuff. Lots of hard work. I played a small part.

Our planet is changing. Explore those changes with a comprehensive picture of our changing planet via Timelapse in Google Earth — a partnership with @GoogleEarth, @USGS, @ESA, and @EU_Commission. 🛰️🌎⏰https://t.co/QquG363wG4

Our planet has seen rapid environmental change in the past half-century — more than any other point in human history. The new Timelapse feature in @GoogleEarth compiles 24 million satellite photos from the past 37 years into an interactive 4D experience.https://t.co/zDfp7Wn1um pic.twitter.com/wCR7JmIIub

See our planet in an entirely new dimension — time.

20 million satellite photos from the past 37 years have been embedded into Google Earth, creating an explorable view of time on our planet. 🌏
