It's important to demonstrate how Earth is changing.
The app set described here makes the following GIF anywhere on Earth. No coding required, just a browser and some mouse clicks. The goal is to make it easy for anyone to generate and share this kind of animation on social media.
Step 1: Go to EE-TS-GIF app
- Draw a rectangle anywhere on Earth
- Record app info: start & end years, GIF center lat & lon, and width (km).
- Download resulting GIF
Step 2: Go to Snazzy-EE-TS-GIF app
- Upload GIF from previous app
- Enter info from previous app
- Download resulting GIF
- Upload GIF from previous app
- Narrate it with a couple sentences
