Texas Tech creates near-real-time map of Japan quake aftershocks
(麻豆淫院Org.com) -- Researchers at Texas Tech University鈥檚 Center for Geospatial Technologies have created a near-real-time map of the aftershocks occurring globally following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan Friday.
Kevin Mulligan, director of the center, said the map was developed today following a lack of new information presented on major news outlets. The map connects to near-real-time remote feeds from the United States Geological Survey鈥檚 Earthquake Hazards Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration鈥檚 Tsunami Warning Center.
鈥淭his map is a dynamic map surface that shows the distribution of recent earthquakes from a USGS live remote feed,鈥� Mulligan said. 鈥淚t provides map information, satellite imagery and location of recent earthquakes. As part of this major earthquake, there are hundreds of aftershocks that follow.鈥�
