This movie was created to demonstrate the use of animated visualization techniques for displaying forest cover change data in Northeastern Kansas, USA. In the visualization, the changing forest cover of a USGS Quad sized area is animated through 61 years (1941 - 2002) corresponding to aerial photography coverage. Motion and time series animation techniques are explored.
