Claim One:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions for performing a method of presenting aspects of change associated with a geographic area that has been captured by high-resolution, remotely sensed imagery, the method comprising: receiving a query by way of a first user-interface portion that includes at least one field for receiving input that is capable of receiving one or more of (1) a first image identifier and a second image identifier, (2) a query representing a desired change quality measurement, and (3) a query representing a desired change intensity, wherein said query reflects a request to present a visualization of terrestrial change associated with the geographic area and includes one or more inputs including location-identification information that identifies a given geographic region; inspecting a stored dataset that includes indexed geospatial data that is useable to be searched to respond to the query, (1) wherein the indexed geospatial data includes indexed information that describes the geographic area, and (2) wherein the indexed information was derived from the high-resolution, remotely sensed imagery; identifying from the dataset a first set of geographic subregions that are within said given geographic region and that are each associated with data that indicates that a given subregion has exhibited terrestrial change from a first state to a second state; and presenting by way of a second user-interface portion one or more presentations respectively associated with the geographic subregions, such that the presentations are visually ordered according to the amount of change in the associated geographic subregion, wherein the one or more presentations each include a first image representative of a first state, a second image representative of a second state, and a third image representative of the degree of change between said first and second images.
