Image acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), shows changes in the landscape after the earthquake that struck China's Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008, and the resulting aftershocks. In these false-color images, red indicates vegetation; blue-gray indicates bare ground, buildings, and paved areas; and deep blue indicates water. Compare this to February 19, 2003 to see the changes in the terrain. In the years between the acquisitions of these ASTER scenes, China underwent rapid industrialization and urbanization. As a result, some deforestation may have occurred in this region. As of May 25, 2008, the Sichuan earthquake had created an estimated 30+ landslide dams blocking rivers and streams, such as Yansai Lake. Authorities estimated that 67,183 people had died, 361,822 had been injured, and 20,790 remained missing.
