Google has created a new app called Dynamic World. The app lets researchers track Earth's changes in near real-time with great accuracy.
No matter what kind of changes you’re trying to keep track of, staying up to date isn’t always easy. But now, a new app from Google called Dynamic World could make it easier. The app utilizes the Google Earth Engine and was developed alongside the
. It pulls from satellite data around the planet to make detailed maps of the Earth’s ongoing changes.Dynamic World showcases the changes caused by the Caldor Fire in California in 2021.

Earth’s changes are happening rapidly and having a tool that can deliver detailed looks at those changes quickly has become even more important than before..
With Dynamic World, though, new images are created often. This allows researchers and scientists to follow events in near real-time. Events that some might follow include wildfires, like the Caldor Fire that ravaged California in 2021. Others include the effects of deforestation, and even how much drought is affecting parts of the world.Dynamic World shows typical seasonal changes in the Okavango Delta in Botswana from January to June.
To capture these snapshots of our world, Dynamic World offers 10-meter resolution land cover data. This higher resolution allows for more accurate reporting on the information included in the snapshot. As such, it provides a good deal of accuracy for researchers to look into. This is important because verifying that data would take hundreds of thousands of man-hours on the ground.
But, with a tool like Dynamic World, researchers will be able to keep up with the Earth’s changes without having to travel all the way around the world. This could allow for more nuanced research, as well as more targeted campaigns against deforestation, droughts, and more.
