A ‘Waylaid' Teaching Diorama – USGS “Geology For Land Use”
--
For about 3 years, this gorgeous diorama has ‘just’ been sitting in a corner of a (common) hallway.
I can’t help but wonder its history:
• What prompted its creation?
• Who was the artisan (truly!) that created it and used those components and focus?
• When was it created? (late 1960s as an educated guess????)
• Why was it seen as useful / in what setting? (as I am sure it was)
• How was it funded?
(never mind that I want to claim it for my office, space notwithstanding…)

“This tool visualizes near real-time (NRT) satellite-based fire perimeters, active portions of fire perimeters (fire lines), and active fire pixel detections for the current year.
Use the bottom panel to select different date ranges or subset fires by size, duration, or intensity. Click on an individual fire to visualize the time series of fire growth every 12 hours and create video outputs in GIF or WebM formats.
These fire tracking data are from the Fire Event Data Suite (FEDS) algorithm. Find out more:
• FEDS data source documentation
• OpenVEDA documentation
• Earthdata VEDA dashboard..."
