Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast has been done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data we have gathered can be viewed in: the Public Laboratory ArchiveMore images and information can be found at:
We’re not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we’ve helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and trying to ensure that the data is publicly accessible). We are helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the spill… and hoping that such data collection will support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years. Current focuses (Nov 2011) include:
Grassroots Mapping: Kickstarter Pitch from TungstenMonkey on Vimeo. We're organizing mapping 'trips' on the coast. If you're interested in participating in a trip or conducting your own mapping session, please contact us at the mailing list, and we'll help you get started.
