High Resolution Image of Earth
The image, actually a composite of a number of satellite photos stitched together, captures the earth’s surface on January 4, 2012.
The finished product, a massive 64 megapixels, is so detailed it captures clear images of Mississippi River mud falling off the outer-continental shelf.
Although the river ran unusually high three weeks ago, it was far from flood stage.
The brown areas seen in the picture represent some of the millions of cubic feet of sand and mud that, trapped in the Mississippi levee system, flow into the Gulf of Mexico.
Coastal advocates have argued the government should capture more of that silt to rebuild islands and marsh in the delta.f funding were made available, the Corps estimates up to 17 million cubic yards annually could be used to “enhance coastal wetlands through marsh creation, wetland nourishment, barrier island restoration, ridge restoration, and other techniques.”
