Abstract

The growing number of webcams and their rapidly improving quality provide the researchers in Cartography and in other fields of Geography with a valuable source of information, i.e. webcam recordings can be used to study many kinds of geographic phenomena. Nevertheless, the use of tools such as webcams raise a question about the appropriate time scale needed to identify and study different kinds of geographic phenomena. In this paper we present a web tool called TIMELINE that can be used to collect, archive and visualize various geographic phenomena at different time scales using recorded imagery.
