Click on the following link to launch and explore the features of EarthViewer: media.hhmi/biointeractive/earthviewer_web/earthviewer.html Click, hold, and drag to rotate the planet. Click, hold, and drag down the horizontal silver slider on the timeline; watch what happens to the planet and thedata indicators as you move backward and forward in time. Position the silver timeline slider at 0 MYA (top of the timeline). Click on the left "play" button at the bottom ofthe timeline; watch what happens. When the silver bar stops at the bottom, click on the right "play" button andwatch again. Position the silver timeline slider at 0 MYA. Click on "Charts" at the bottom of the screen. Choose a chart. Nowclick on the left "play" button at the bottom of the timeline. Watch what happens on your chosen chart as theslider moves down the timeline. Click "pause" before the slider reaches the bottom of the timeline. Note that your chosen chart will show ademarcation in the data for that point in time. Close your chart in EarthViewer by clicking on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner.
The occurrence of mass extinctions is spread out somewhat evenly, around 90-year differences (varies). Otherwise thereis not much that shows an explanation. This makes sense as many mass extinctions are caused by external events, suchas collisions with the earth.
d what would have happened if all the early mammals living 66 million years ago had died out in the Cretaceous mass extinction.If all the mammals died, they would be replaced by other animals such as insects, birds, and fish. We wouldsimply have more of those than mammals, but there would still be life and biodiversity on earth.
c your answers to the previous questions, what would you predict to be the long-term result of a sixth mass extinction?Eventually, the niche would be refilled by other animals and the biodiversity of earth would increase to even highernumbers.
The study of the earth"s systems depends on a large amount of observations from homogeneous sources, which are usually scattered around time and space and are tightly intercorrelated to each other. The understanding of said systems depends on the ability to access diverse data types and contextualize them in a global setting suitable for their exploration. While the collection of environmental data has seen an enormous increase over the last couple of decades, the development of software solutions necessary to integrate observations across disciplines seems to be lagging behind. To deal with this issue, we developed the Digital Earth Viewer: a new program to access, combine, and display geospatial data from multiple sources over time.Choosing a new approach, the software displays space in true 3D and treats time and time ranges as true dimensions. This allows users to navigate observations across spatio-temporal scales and combine data sources with each other as well as with meta-properties such as quality flags. In this way, the Digital Earth Viewer supports the generation of insight from data and the identification of observational gaps across compartments.Developed as a hybrid application, it may be used both in-situ as a local installation to explore and contextualize new data, as well as in a hosted context to present curated data to a wider audience.In this work, we present this software to the community, show its strengths and weaknesses, give insight into the development process and talk about extending and adapting the software to custom usecases.
This help guide outlines the process to georeference (geographically place on the surface of the earth) a scanned map or aerial image and digitize features from it in Google Earth Pro, a desktop software.
You can create custom features and store them in the folder that was previously created. The mapping tools at the top of the viewer offer custom feature creation such as points (placemark), lines (path) & polygons.
When satisfied with your changes, click OK to return to the map viewer. **You can always adjust the properties by right-clicking the path name in the table of contents and selecting Properties from the menu.
Our Mission is the digitalization of Earth Sciences and enhancing cooperation between scientists working in different earth compartments. The aims is to derive a more holistic view on earth systems and to bridge gaps between natural and data scientist. Read more
Some arid valleys of central and southeastern Arizona are home to earth fissures: pervasive cracks that occur on valley floors that result from basin subsidence associated with extensive groundwater withdrawal. Earth fissures are an anthropogenic geologic hazard that threaten people, property, infrastructure (e.g., roads, gas lines, canals), and livestock.
Ground subsidence and resulting earth fissures impact more than 3,000 square miles in Arizona, including expanding areas of Phoenix and Tucson. The cost to the Arizona economy is undetermined, but probably reaches the millions of dollars annually. Repairs to an irrigation canal near Scottsdale Airpark in 2007 were estimated at $820,000, and that's a single incident involving one canal. During construction of the Red Mountain Highway (Loop 202) in Phoenix, the cost of mitigating an earth fissure that impinged on the road bed was $200,000 (Arizona Land Subsidence Group, 2007).
Since the 1930s, the number and distribution of earth fissures in Arizona has increased dramatically. In 2006, the Arizona Legislature charged AZGS with establishing an earth fissure mapping and monitoring program (Earth Fissure Mapping program). Over the past decade, our fissure mapping team has mapped hundreds of earth fissures in 28 study areas in five counties.
In each earth fissure study area, we begin by reviewing existing maps and technical reports, examining new and historical aerial photographs, and consulting with geoscientists and engineers in agencies (e.g. Salt River Project, AZ Department of Water Resources) or consulting firms with expertise or information on fissures.
Back in the office, the data go through post-processing and uploaded into a geographic information system (GIS) map environment. Since 2007, this process has been repeated 100s of times until all known or suspected earth fissures were mapped. The fissure map data are then added to study area field sheets, which are reviewed before release at the AZGS Online Document Repository.
A recent earth fissure in Cochise County filled with water following heavy rain storm. Fine clay sediments that collect at the bottom of the fissure may seal it slowing or preventing draining. This proclivity to capture and hold water explains the presence of dense vegetation that often accompanies fissures.
Roads of Cochise County, Cochise Stronghold Rd. and Dragoon Rd., damaged by reactivation of an earth fissure. These roads have repaired a number of time over the past 10 years. Earth fissures form as groundwater withdrawal powers basin subsidence.
In July 2017, monsoon rains flushed into an earth fissure near Apache Junction. As a result, the fissure opened and damaged W. Houston Road and a nearby industrial site. Going clockwise from upper left corner: Road closed signs preventing traffic on W. Houston Rd; Cracks indicating fissure damage to the road; Local collapse around earth fissure in the nearby industrial site; the reactivated fissure immediately north of W. Houston Rd. The entire fissure is approximately 0.75 miles in length.
In 2013, AZGS Earth Fissure Program manager, Joe Cook, led a team of photojournalists to Cochise County to investigate newly formed earth fissures south of the Willcox Playa. In this photo, Joe captures KUAT cameraman burrowing into a recent earth fissure.
Geological engineers, geologists, environmental geologists, civil engineers, and construction staff examining an earth fissure exposed during construction of the Loop 202 east of Phoenix. The fissure was mitigated by deploying a geosynthetic liner.
In March of 2014, AZGS' Earth Fissure Program Manager Joe Cook responded to a call from local authorities in the Chandler Heights area to visit a recently reactivated earth fissure in a residential area. The expansive fissure is seen here to the right of AZGS staffer. At one end it disappears under a fence and into the backyard of a home there.
