Earlier this calendar month the Future of Life Institute partnered amongst NukeMap to exercise 1100 Declassified U.S. Nuclear Targets, an interactive map showing all U.S. nuclear targets to a greater extent than or less the public inwards 1956.
Of course of written report the nuclear arms race didn't halt inwards 1956. In fact the USA, Russian Federation as well as many other countries to a greater extent than or less the public bring continued to acquit on developing their nuclear capabilities. One agency of determining who is continuing to seek nuclear weapons is yesteryear analyzing seismic records. Which is precisely what Blast Map has done.
Blast Map is a map showing hush-hush nuclear tests carried out yesteryear countries across the globe since 1963. 1963 was the twelvemonth the Partial Test Ban Treaty came into force, which prohibited all seek detonations of nuclear weapons except underground. Using information from the Northern California Earthquake Data Center the map shows all seismic events which bring been determined to live non geological inwards nature simply were instead caused yesteryear either quarry blasting or nuclear testing.
Blast Map shows the place of these quarry blasts as well as nuclear tests to a greater extent than or less the world. The nautical chart beneath the map shows the magnitude as well as engagement of each of the blasts. The nautical chart as well as map are synchronized together then that the nautical chart automatically updates to reverberate the information inwards the electrical flow map view. You tin too purpose the nautical chart to refine the information shown on the map yesteryear gain of magnitude as well as date.
The map sidebar provides links to pregnant nuclear testing events. For example, if you lot click on the 'Soviet Nuclear Archipelago' link you lot tin thought a map as well as nautical chart thought of soviet nuclear testing from 1964-1991. You tin read a piddling to a greater extent than nearly the significance of these highlighted testing events as well as how the map was made on this Adventures inwards Mapping weblog post.
