Scientists, documentarians, and journalists have used Google Earth Timelapse data to explain the complex dynamics at work on Earth. Recently, a team of scientists at the University of Ottawa published an article at Nature based on the Timelapse dataset which revealed a 6,000% increase in landslides on a Canadian Arctic island since 1984.

To mark the latest update that brings mobile and tablet support, Google Earth Timelapse has showcased Canadian cities to show how they have changed over the years.
