GeoEye Takes Center Stage in Japan Disaster Response - High Resolution Imagery Featured in Article

Washington Business Journal Of all the companies scrambling into action in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan, few have been as central to the world's understanding of the disaster as Dulles-based GeoEye, Inc.


The satellite firm has supplied macro-level snapshots of the devastation to media outlets across the globe, along with peaceful shots of the coastal Japanese communities before the March 11 tsunami. Some outlets are using sliders to juxtapose the before and after images, used by the Guardian to show the swamped and smoking wreckage in the city of Natori. A similar feature by the New York Times using GeoEye imagery has been tweeted out about 18,000 times so far...

Japan: Before And After - GeoEye is Elevating Insight

These GeoEye satellite images released March 13, 2011 show Japan from the air, taken one day after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Oshika Peninsula on March 11, 2011. According to news reports, this is the largest earthquake to hit Japan in recorded history. Analysts believe the powerful earthquake moved Japan's main island eight feet (2.4 meters), shifted the Earth on its axis four inches (10 centimeters), and unleashed a devastating tsunami. The imagery shows extensive destruction to buildings, vehicles and infrastructure. Entire regions have been flooded, swept away or reduced to ruin. The images were taken by GeoEye's IKONOS satellite.

Salas y Gómez Expedition: Locating an Island Via Satellite - GeoEye Imagery Collection Showcased

When we originally prepared to mount the expedition (before the devastating Chilean earthquake in March, 2010), I downloaded what imagery I could find--a really coarse Landsat image. Salas y Gómez is so small that by the time I got the resolution to where I could try to plot potential survey points, the image was so pixilated. It looked like a bunch of squares and you could hardly make the island out at all. So it's been incredibly useful having a brand new, high-resolution satellite image courtesy of Google Earth and GeoEye...
