That’s not Atlantis, it’s just a bunch of human-made structures at sea
SkyTruth’s offshore infrastructure dataset can help identify areas at high risk of oil pollution events.
Although anyone can go to Google Maps and find most buildings in the world, we can’t do the same for infrastructure at sea. SkyTruth and our partners at Global Fishing Watch were inspired by this problem and created a dataset that allows us to locate offshore infrastructure. By applying three criteria, intern Breanna Xiong identified structures that have a high, medium, or low likelihood of being related to oil and gas production. This can make monitoring for oil pollution and identifying sources more efficient, and support SkyTruth’s project Cerulean.
Monthly Methane Flaring Summary Data Now Available in Alerts
New SkyTruth Alerts layer helps pollution trackers quantify flaring trends.
Those tracking methane flaring will want to try the newest layer in SkyTruth Alerts: a summary of monthly flaring activity that can be based on your current map view or selected Areas of Interest. Learn how in this post.
What’s In the Water? An Analysis of Harmful Algal Blooms Using Remote Sensing
SkyTruth worked with researchers at Kent State University to detect toxic algal blooms quickly and easily from space using Google Earth Engine.
A few weeks ago, SkyTruth co-hosted a virtual meetup at Google’s Geo for Good Summit with our partners at Kent State University (KSU) to present our work identifying harmful algal blooms (HABs) using Google Earth Engine and satellite imagery. In this post, Geospatial Analyst Brendan Jarrell shares how we made detecting HABs quicker, easier, and more accessible to others.
