NASA Earth Observatory image modified by SkyTruth
SkyTruth has launched an app that models “drill out scenarios” for various setback distances. Read more about this project in our blog post. A list of data sets and studies used to create the app are below in the Resources section.
If you would like to have a personal walk-through, or have questions, please contact Brendan Jarrell, the app’s creator, at brendan@skytruth.org.
