Editor's Notes
- Basically you tie a cheap digital camera to a kite, just like this one and you send it up. The camera is hacked to take pictures every 10 seconds..
- In order to tell stories that differed from the official version, the boat captains like Jim from Uptown Angler offered their services to carry activists out to capture their own images by balloon and kite. Brown Pelican (LA State bird) and Sandwich Tern are visible here on reef rock, sand bar, and sand spit alongside rainbow oil sheen, chemical dispersants and tarballs. This 8,400 x 8,700 pixel wide image fits entirely into a single pixel of daily modis 1KM imagery. The balloon was floating about 1,500 feet up. The mappers and cartographers released this imagery of the first oil sheen making landfall into the Public Domain and it was broadcast around the world on CNN and other media outlets. The dataset retains its handcrafted quality and includes the boat itself. May 9, 2010.
- Onquestions of environmental justice… communities adversely affected by govt decisions or industry, only thing they can do is complain, tell a story, give an anecdote… that’s not enough in this data-driven world… PLOTS broadening participating in languages of power (affordable, accessible, easy to use equipment to allow people to enter the conversation)…During the BP oil spill, the extent, resolution, moment of capture, and other aspects made gov’t / industry maps extremely different, and Public Lab maps highlighted issues that were obscure in the official data – in this case of broken, missing, and ineffective booms. Locals targeted known sensitive wetland areas for documentation before during and after oil made landfall for use in restoration and litigation.
- The Public Lab archive is modeled after data.govThe archive distributes the on-demand imagery collected by people on scene. This imagery ranges between 2 and 10 cm resolution.This dataset of the first oil sheen landing on the Chandeliur islands is approximately 8000 pixels on a side , all of which fit into a single pixel of the daily MODIS imagery. 225 maps, XX GB.
- And on the Sandy Hurricane sewer water pictures we took – the fresh water from that spring is having a beneficial effect on polluted Canal water – helping dilute the sewage next to the tree – not surprisingly that is one of the few spots where we still see small fish and birds hanging out.
- We follow this model when developing new research equipment to put on our aerial rigs (infrared cameras that composite false color imagery as it’s collected , air quality boards, microbial sponges), as well as entirely new tools as you saw with the thermal fishing bob, thermal flashlight, a spectrometer, hydrogen sulfide monitor, among others.
- Where we share aerial photography projects via Google Earth on subjects covering everything from markets in Africa to Composting Festivals in Brooklyn
- An individual can do work that is part of something greaterGet credit under your own name, not just for the company you work forFuel innovation
- Careers that don’t rely on expertism AKA being overly identified with the management of a problem that it would be better off if everyone worked together to solve it and move onto the next issue!
