This
activity
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
"GIS-ready"
data
and
shows
how
to
map
that
data
and
conduct
basic
analyses
using
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
First,
you
will
download
and
format
near
real-time
and
historical
earthquake
data
from
the
USGS.
Using
latitude
and
longitude
fields,
you
will
then
plot
these
data
in
a
GIS.
Next,
you
will
analyze
patterns
by
querying
records
and
...

Users
download
and
analyze
satellite
images
showing
the
amount
of
ozone
in
the
stratosphere.
They
interpret
the
images
to
identify
the
ozone
"hole"
that
develops
over
Antarctica
each
summer,
and
compare
its
size
from
year
to
year.
Using
freely
available
image
analysis
software,
ImageJ,
users
quantify
the
area
of
the
Antarctic
ozone
hole
each
October
from
1996
to
2004.
Finally,
they

This
EET
Chapter
will
introduce
you
to
visualization
capabilities
available
through
NASA's
Earth
Observatory.
You'll
build
several
animations
of
satellite
data
that
illustrate
carbon
pathways
through
the
Earth
system.
For
instance,
you'll
build
animations
of
fire
images
that
indicate
carbon
is
being
released
into
the
atmosphere.
You'll
also
make
animations
of
plant
productivity
images
that
indicate
