Maps Identify Fallout and Radiation Hotspots from Japan Nuclear Disaster
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.

RDTN.ORG , built by Portland, Oregon-based Uncorked Studios , with the help of many external contributors, asks people to submit readings from their locations for posting on a Google map that aggregates the data. RDTN is currently using data from Pachube and Marian Steinbach's Japan Radiation Open Data blog , and will add data from other "reliable" sources as they become available.

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.

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.
with R, ggplot2, and FFmpeg 1 Introduction As a follow-up to ‘Analysis of Japanese Earthquakes Data’ , I sought to produce a map including infomation about epicenter and magnitude. Last article have contributed to visualize the frequency of earthquakes, on the other hand I have attempted to visualize infomation about epicenter and magnitude on a map with R, ggplot2, and FFmpeg. 2 Data
