This resource provides registered Landsat images from 1988 through 1995 that show the delta of the Pearl River and the city of Shenzhen in southeast China. False color infrared and true color composite images and animations show change over time. Human-induced changes such as urbanization and land reclamation are obvious in the sequence. Images from this site are featured in the Earth Exploration Toolbook chapter, Annotating Change in Satellite Images.
