GeoExplorer v1.0: Bolivia from outer space
Swipe between 2013 and 2019 to see how population, night-time lights, land cover and GDP changed across Bolivia’s municipalities.
An Earth Engine app, “Exploring regional development in Bolivia: a view from outer space”. Choose a layer (population density from WorldPop, VIIRS night-time lights, land cover, or gridded GDP), then drag the slider to compare 2013 with 2019 side by side. Click any municipality to chart its change. Cities such as Santa Cruz de la Sierra show how fast urban lights have spread. Built for DS4Bolivia by Carlos Mendez (Nagoya University).
