Digital Earth Watch and Picture Post Network
Activities and tools for observing and measuring environmental change
The land, water, and air around us are changing. Often, the changes are subtle and we cannot see them
without the help of modern technology.
Repeat photographs reveal measurable changes in vegetation including phenology, growth patterns and plant health, snow and water levels, and sky conditions. A Picture Post is an easy to build platform for collecting panoramic photographic data from the same vantage point. Participants upload their pictures and share findings on the Picture Post website. As a whole, the Network contributes to national climate change monitoring programs.
Collecting pictures is just the beginning! Picture Post and Digital Earth Watch (DEW) are online resources for educators, students, communities, and citizens to design and carry out investigations, challenges, and environmental stewardship projects with low-cost, do-it-yourself tools and a free software program, Analyzing Digital Images (ADI), for measuring spatial features in a picture and to analyze plant health based on color.
