This is a great idea Chris! I'd love to see the actual raw data re assembled over a uniform map base rather than have the USGS maps as the slides, especially for the thermal data. Have you looked at making thee into animated GIFs as well?

All,I apologize for the cross posting.Like many of you, I have a morbid curiosity with the volcano eruption in Hawaii. USGS is doing some fantastic work. Most of the facts and pictures and videos you see on the news are from USGS.You can see things at: https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/multimedia_chronology.html
Being a map person, I carefully examine USGS' daily update to their maps. Alas, they have not combined the maps so you can see the progression of the eruption (they haven't done that with the webcams either).BUT I DID. I grabbed the images of the maps & created a short slideshow.I created 2 videos:Maps of the Kīlauea lower East Rift Zone lava flows and fissures, Hawaii through June 05Thermal fissures maps of the Kīlauea lower East Rift Zone, Hawaii through June 05I hope to update the videos regularly. Love to have your feedback. Please feel free to leave comments on youtube and share the links.many thanks,
