    “Kenya's Lake Naivasha has long been a place of change and reinvention…
    Now the lake faces another major change: rapidly fluctuating water levels. The name Naivasha comes from a Maasai word meaning "that which heaves," an apt description of the freshwater lake over the past 25 years. Satellite altimetry measurements of the lake's depth indicate an increase of about 7 metres (23 feet) since 2010, roughly the height of a two-story building. Over the same period, Landsat observed a roughly 40 percent increase in the lake's area, adding 50 kilometres² (19 miles²) of water, equivalent to roughly 15 Central Parks.
    The human and economic toll of the rising water levels is considerable..”

  6. One of the most complex #visualizations of #Earth’s ocean dynamics to date, by #NASA.

    Leveraging #satellite #altimetry, #scatterometry, and state-of-the-art numerical #ocean #models, the #map exposes the planet’s vast current systems: oceanic jets, #mesoscale eddies spanning hundreds of kilometers, and the Gulf Stream.

    (Looks quite a bit like Van Gogh’s Starry Night! Yet, this is pure fluid dynamics, no #AI involved.)
