Users
download
and
analyze
MODIS
imagery
from
2001
and
2003
to
quantify
the
shrinking

Aral
Sea.
The
chapter
steps
users
through
downloading,
installing,
and
measuring
with
ImageJ,
a
freely

image
analysis
program.
Users
employ
the
software
to
set
the
spatial

of
an
image,
then
select
and
measure
distances

This
activity
of
the
Earth
Exploration
Toolbook
walks
users
through
a
technique
for
documenting
change
in
before-and-after
sets
of
satellite
images.
The
technique
can
be
used
for
any
set
of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
same
area
at
the
same
scale.
In
the
chapter,
users
examine
three
Landsat
images
of
the
Pearl
River
delta
in
southeastern
China.
In
the
images,

In
this
activity,
users
download
and
graph
modeled
climate
data
to
explore
variability
in
climate
change.
Most
people
know
that
climate
changes
are
predicted
over
the
next
hundred
years,
but
they
may
not
be
aware
that
these
changes
are
likely
to
vary
from
region
to
region.

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

Voyager,
a
freely

online
map
tool
that
includes
data
for
Earth
as
well
as
19
other
