camp delta Google Earth and the ethics of remote sensing in archaeology
World Archaeology, 2010Co-Authors: Adrian T MyersAbstract:With easy access to satellite imagery through free applications such as Google Earth, it is now financially feasible for archaeologists to undertake remote survey in areas that are difficult or impossible to access in person. But there are ethical concerns inherent in the use of remotely sensed images, as Google Earth might be seen as a panoptic viewing technology that leaves no voice to those being viewed. Through a virtual investigation of the Camp Delta prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, I discuss methodological and theoretical aspects of the use of Google Earth in archaeology.

Studying the Oceanic Internal Waves using Google Earth
International journal of sciences, 2014Co-Authors: Amelia Carolina SparavignaAbstract:Some recent papers proposed the use of Google Earth in the study of physics, in particular of the behaviour of waves. In fact, in satellite views of coastal zones of oceans and seas, we can easily observe several undulatory phenomena, such as diffraction and interference, created by the surface waves. In this paper, we will show that, with a careful examination of the time series of Google Earth, we can also observe oceanic internal waves. Therefore, we propose to study them, with the aim of attracting students' interest to subjects of the physics of waves that are beyond those usually discussed in the courses of undergraduate education. Keywords: Teaching Physics, Satellite Images, Google Earth, NASA, Internal waves, Oceans

Moving dunes on the Google Earth
arXiv: Geophysics, 2013Co-Authors: Amelia Carolina SparavignaAbstract:Several methods exist for surveying the dunes and estimate their migration rate. Among methods suitable for the macroscopic scale, the use of the satellite images available on Google Earth is a convenient resource, in particular because of its time series. Some examples of the use of this feature of Google Earth are here proposed.

Applications and impacts of Google Earth: A decadal review (2006-2016)
ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2018Co-Authors: Jianming Liang, Jianhua GongAbstract:Abstract Since Google Earth was first released in 2005, it has attracted hundreds of millions of users worldwide and made a profound impact on both academia and industry. It can be said that Google Earth epitomized the first-generation of Digital Earth prototypes. The functionalities and merits that have sustained Google Earth’s lasting influence are worth a retrospective review. In this paper, we take the liberty to conduct a bibliometric study of the applications of Google Earth during 2006–2016. We aim first to quantify the multifaceted impacts, and then to develop a structured understanding of the influence and contribution associated with Google Earth. To accomplish these objectives, we analyzed a total of 2115 Scopus publication records using scientometric methods and then proceed to discussion with a selected set of applications. The findings and conclusions can be summarized as follows: (1) the impact of Google Earth has been profound and persistent over the past decade. Google Earth was mentioned in an average of 229 publications per year since 2009. (2) Broadly, the impact of Google Earth has touched upon most scientific disciplines. Specifically, during 2006–2016, Google Earth has been mentioned in 2115 publications covering all of Scopus’s 26 subject areas; (3) the influence of Google Earth has largely concentrated in GIScience, remote sensing and geosciences. The extended influence of Google Earth has reached a wider range of audiences with a concentration in fields such as human geography, geoscience education and archaeology.

Google Earth Pro
Geospatial Solutions, 2006Co-Authors: D WuthrichAbstract:Google Earth Pro is as easy to use as the free version. It extends the capabilities of Google Earth to allow for robust, practical applications via the addition of such features as GIS and GPS import, spreadsheet data import, measure tools, and movie recording.
