Maps Identify Fallout and Radiation Hotspots from Japan Nuclear Disaster: Scientific American
By Edwin Cartlidge of Nature magazine The distribution of fallout from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has now been mapped by two independent teams. The charts reduce the uncertainty surrounding the amount of contamination across Japan, and help to show which areas should be safe to return to farming.

This scatter plot shows the levels of radiation recorded by Geiger-counter in Tokyo over the past 7 days. All units are in mSv/year. These values are compared with terrestrial background radiation in other cities in the world.

As part of our efforts to get readings for all of Japan, including many areas that have never had published measurements, we've been driving across the country taking readings constantly as we go. This provides some exceptionally detailed mapping of radiation levels along the routes we have traveled, we call this Safecasting.

Marcelino Alvarez was getting frustrated and a little paranoid last week as he watched news reports about radiation levels in Japan and plumes drifting across the Pacific. "There were a lot of talking heads speculating about how this could happen or that could happen," says Alvarez, a Web developer , news fiend and all-around data junkie.
UNOSAT supports crowd sourcing community
Geneva 14 March 2011. The aftermath of the catastrophic quake and tsunami in Japan has mobilised unprecedented participation from social networks and crowd sourcing communities around the world. Satellite imagery released for free by major commercial satellite companies earlier this week revealed to the world the extent of the impact of the tsunami waves that hit the east coast of Japan on Friday 11 March. Japan is using various satellite sensors and is coping with the technical work necessary to turn this large amount of data into useful information for rescue and rehabilitation operations. Japan possesses all the technical and scientific capacity necessary to handle satellite mapping and it is a space power itself.Satellite images show tsunami-ravaged Japan coast: Scientific American Gallery

The 8.9-magnitude quake in Japan will not only leave an everlasting impression on the country, but globally as a result of the quake’s effect on the rotation of the Earth and GPS coordinates.Google Crisis Response
On March 11 at 2:46pm JST a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred near the northeastern coast of Japan, creating extremely destructive tsunami waves which hit Japan just minutes after the earthquake, and triggering evacuations and warnings across the Pacific Ocean. The earthquake and tsunami have caused extensive and severe damage in Northeastern Japan, leaving thousands of people confirmed dead, injured or missing, and millions more affected by lack of electricity, water and transportation.The prefectures of Japan are the country's 47 subnational jurisdictions : one "metropolis" (都 to ), Tokyo ; one " circuit " (道 dō ), Hokkaidō ; two urban prefectures (府 fu ), Osaka and Kyoto ; and 43 other prefectures (県 ken ).
