Near-Real-Time Map of Japan Quake Aftershocks
Researchers at Texas Tech's Center for Geospatial Technologies have created a near-real-time map of the aftershocks occurring globally following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan Friday.

"This map is a dynamic map surface that shows the distribution of recent earthquakes from a USGS live remote feed," Mulligan said.

"It provides map information, satellite imagery and location of recent earthquakes. As part of this major earthquake, there are hundreds of aftershocks that follow."
