New images Google Earth Timelapse

The 'Timelapse' function in Google Earth has now been expanded with new images from the years 2021 and 2022. Google Earth Timelapse now shows how the Earth changed from above in the period 1984-2022. It thus provides an insightful, but also disturbing picture of the changes that the earth has undergone in those years, seen from above.
For example, you see how cities take up more and more space, especially fast-growing cities such as Nairobi or Lagos. See how the glaciers continue to retreat over the years, or how the Aral Lake shrinks due to drying out and excessive withdrawal of water for irrigation of the surrounding cotton plantations. Or see how agricultural areas of grain in Egypt contrast sharply with the surrounding desert landscape, thanks to irrigation.
But you also see how meandering rivers shift over time in the Amazon rainforest, and ways cities have adapted to fight climate change, such as the appearance of offshore wind farms and of a large-scale solar installation in Granada.
Google Timelapse thus provides a good picture of the impact of humans and the consequences of global warming in the past almost 40 years.

Google Earth

Google Earth is a 4D interactive map composed of millions of satellite images from the United States Geological Survey's Landsat program (the world's first and longest-running civil Earth observation program) and the European Union's Copernicus program.
A library of over 800 Timelapse videos for over 300 locations is available at g.co/TimelapseVideos. Or watch the 2022 documentary The Territory, which uses Timelapse to show deforestation in the Amazon and its effect on local communities.
