The North America Tapestry of Time and Terrain is woven
from a geologic map and a shaded relief image.
This digital combination reveals the geologic history
of North America through the interrelation of rock type,
topography and time.
Regional surface processes as well as continent-scale tectonic
events are exposed in the three dimensions of space and
the fourth dimension, geologic time.
This map is an expansion of the original
United States Tapestry of Time and Terrain, produced in 2000.

Google Earth video of Carolina Bays 4:35 minutes
February 24, 2010

A couple of months ago I was having some fun with
Google Earth Pro and put together this little video
demonstrating the ubiquity of Carolina Bays
in Eastern North Carolina.
This is one of those projects where you swear you will
return and do a "second draft" in the near future -- and
ever do.
So it is still kinda rough.
But people unfamiliar with the Carolina Bays should find it
interesting.
I'd enjoy hearing what you think.
