UAE
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
There has been a lot of changes to Earth's topography in the last three decades. The major reasons for such changes have been attributed to the rapid spread of cities, melting glaciers, natural disasters, etc.
Satellite imagery helps one understand the drastic changes occurred to Earth's topography.
Google's Earth Engine Timelapse feature provides data and high-resolution images, showing how landscapes have changed in just 32 years.
It compiled 5 million images collected over three decades by five satellites to come up with these videos.
With the help of Timelapse, one can zoom in on any corner of the world and see what has happened to that area over three decades.
Khaleej Times takes a look at 10 of the most striking images from Timelapse:
Timelapse: 32 years of Dubai, in 12 seconds
