Title: Air Quality Meteorology	Keywords: Atmospheric science	Description: The goal of this course is to introduce participants to the basic concepts of meteorology and air quality necessary to understand meteorological computer models. This course, along with companion courses in Computational Atmospheric Science and Emissions, anticipates the Models3 environment under development by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Upon completion of the course, participants should understand the fundamental principles of meteorology. In addition, participants will be introduced to the application of these principles to air quality, especially through atmospheric modeling. Moreover, during the course a number of issues involved in simulating atmospheric processes in a computer-based model will be presented. This course is designed to provide scientific background that will help the participant move quickly "up the ramp" in terms of understanding and using a computational science approach to studying complex environmental phenomena. Upon completion of this course, a person will be able to: 1) describe the basic concepts, relationships, and terms that Models3 or a similar meteorological air quality model employs to represent the meteorological aspects of the model, and 2) describe several key relationships between meteorological phenomena and air quality. This course assumes the participant holds a bachelor's degree in a science-related field such as physics, chemistry, or geology and has some additional familiarity with environmental issues. Others with less experience will also find the material useful, but may not have the necessary background to understand all of the material, especially some of the higher level mathematics, presented in the course.

Title: Stream Floods	Keywords: Hydrology,Natural hazards	Description: This exercise is designed to explore the nature of floods and flood prediction. Prediction of flooding relies heavily upon statistical techniques based on historical records of stream behavior. This series of exercises first reviews basic concepts in flood prediction such as calculating the Recurrence Interval (RI), which is the average interval in years between occurrences of two discharges of equal magnitude; and the Weibull equation, which calculates the probability that a given discharge will be exceeded in any particular year. The student then accesses historical data on U.S. stream flow and performs these calculations independently.

Title: Welcome to the Global Warming Project	Keywords: Climatology	Description: In this project students learn about the scientific factors that contribute to the controversial global warming debate. The project places students as advisors to the heads of state of several different nations, prompting students to learn about the issue as they respond to the various questions and concerns of these leaders. As expert scientists on the issue, the class will need to understand and be able to explain to the heads of state what forces affect climate and what global warming actually means. Once they do this, they will need to help the different nations of the world understand how global warming will affect them and what they can do about it. Each team of students will be responsible for advising one country and will ultimately need to present a proposal that offers a set of solutions which address the concerns of their country. Stages of the project include an introduction to the basic issues of global warming, understanding the factors that contribute to temperature change, investigating the factors that determine global temperature and energy use, understanding potential consequences of atmospheric pollution on global climate, and finding solutions to these types of problems. Also included is an online journey through the Carbon and Water cycles.

Title: Indian Peaks, Colorado Front Range, U.S.A. Virtual Field Trip	Keywords: Physical geography	Description: This module contains a virtual field trip to the Indian Peaks section of the Colorado Front Range. It is intended to introduce students to the altitudinal zonation of vegetation found in this area. It also investigates alpine glacial processes and landforms. The module presents background information on the physical geography of the region, then includes step-by-step instructions for taking the field trip and the activities required to do along the way. This module can be adapted to a wide range of grade levels and may be presented as a lesson for introductory physical geography. Key geographical concepts addressed by the module: a) altitudinal zonation of climate and vegetation, b) alpine glacial landforms and processes and c) geographic fieldwork. Activities involve students recording "field" observations in a field journal, synthesizing field data to uncover relationships between elevation, temperature and vegetation form, and using online topographic maps and air photographs to identify alpine glacial landforms. At the conclusion of the field trip students will be able to describe how the vegetation relates to location (elevation) and climate, and describe how the following alpine glacial and periglacial landforms are created: aretes, U-shaped valley, cirque, tarn, paternoster lake, moraines, and rock glaciers.

Title: Calculating the Lifting Condensation Level (LCL)	Keywords: Atmospheric science	Description: This Javascript calculator was designed to calculate lifting condensation level (LCL) conditions using only three atmospheric input parameters that are commonly measured and reported during most local televised weather forecasts: surface temperature, surface dewpoint, and surface pressure. Output is pressure and parcel temperature at LCL. Though this calculator was designed to calculate the lifting condensation level for a parcel of air lifted from the surface, you calculate the LCL conditions for an air parcel at any other pressure level by substituting values appropriately. There is also a link to a calculator that will convert temperature reading from Celsius to Fahrenheit to Kelvin units.

Title: Compute Values of Earth's Magnetic Field (Version 3.1)	Keywords: Geophysics	Description: The program run from this form computes the values of the Earth's magnetic field parameters for a given location and date or date range. Input required is the date and location (in latitude and longitude) of interest. Links to the U.S. Census Bureau's U.S. Gazeteer and the Getty Thesaurus assists in determing the latitude and longitude for locations of interest. The magnetic parameters (D, I, H, X, Y, Z, and F) are computed based on the latest International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), a Schmidt quasinormalized spherical harmonic model of the magnetic field. Accuracies for the angular components (Declination, D and Inclination, I) are reported in degrees and minutes of arc and are generally within 30 minutes. Accuracies for the force components (Horizontal - H, North - X, East - Y, Vertical - Z, and Total force - F) are generally within 25 nanotesla. A link to frequently-asked questions about the geomagnetic field of Earth is provided as background material.

Title: Recent and Past-century Climate Variability and the Mass Change of Peyto Glacier, Canadian Rocky Mountains	Keywords: Cryology,Climatology,Hydrology	Description: This paper examines the structure and flux of the Peyto Glacier, looking at the changes in the glacier from 1966 to 1997 as it reflects long-term climate change. The authors discuss strong spatial and temporal coherence of anomalous patterns in the availability of seasonal snow and the mass balance of alpine glaciers and their relation to ocean-atmosphere phenomena. This correlation is significant to the development of more inclusive forecasting tools for use in water resource management under scenarios of climate variability. This on-lone version is a short note adpated from a longer research paper.

Title: Space Based Astronomy: Teacher's Guide with Activities	Keywords: Space science	Description: This curriculum guide uses hands-on activities to help students and teachers understand the significance of space-based astronomy - astronomical observations made from outer space. It is not intended to serve as a curriculum. Instead, teachers should select activities from this guide to support and extend existing study. The guide tells the story of why it is important to observe celestial objects from outer space and how to study the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The guide begins with a survey of astronomy-related spacecraft NASA has sent into outer space. This is followed by a collection of activities organized into four units: The Atmospheric Filter, The Electromagnetic Spectrum, Collecting Electromagnetic Radiation, and Down to Earth. A curriculum matrix identifies the curriculum areas each activitiy addresses. Following the activities is information for obtaining a 35 mm slide set with descriptions showing current results from NASA spacecraft such as the Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and the Cosmic Bakground Explorer. The guide concludes with a glossary, reference list, and a NASA Resources list.

Title: Solar System Simulator	Keywords: Space science	Description: This site renders images of celestial bodies within our solar system. The simulator software looks up the positions of the Sun, planets and satellites from ephemeris files developed at the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), as well as star positions and colors from a variety of stellar databases, and uses special-purpose renderers to draw a color scene. Texture maps for each of the planets and physical models for planetary rings have been derived (in most cases) from scientific data collected by various JPL spacecraft. Users can then request a rendered image of any celestial body from any other celestial body on the date of your choice (1600 to 2300). Users specify date and time, field of view, and whether orbits and constellation lines are to be depicted. Archived images (both rendered and acutal) are available, as are simulated views from Cassini and Galilleo, and locations of current comets.

Title: The Life System and Environmental and Evolutionary Biology II	Keywords: Biology	Description: The "Life System" is a component of the course series (TESY) developed by Columbia University and Barnard College, providing an integrated view of the biological component of the Earth system. It emphasizes the history of life, biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, evolution, ecology, and physiology at the microbe to global scale. It also stresses the biotic systems, in contrast to the physical systems, as maintaining the non-equilibrium state of the Earth's surface. The course is divided into three parts. Part 1 is entitled Entities, Cycles, and History; and covers the nature of individuals, species, evolution of the long-term Carbon cycle, and the history of life. Part 2 is entitled Mechanisms of Evolution and Ecology, and covers the origin of species and diversity by natural selection, and interactions that shape the abundance, distribution, and conservation of organisms. Part 3 is entitled Physiology at Different Scales, and focuses on the flow of materials and energy within and between organisms and their environments, from microbes to the biosphere. The labs focus on the Earth system elements, and are intended to be a very substantial part of the course in which students gain experience with working with parts of the Biosphere. Students will work with mathematical models and on-line data streams complementing the more traditional descriptive aspects of working with living and fossil biological systems. Students also gain experience with different methods of approaching biological systems such as physiological analysis and systematics and ecological methods.

Title: Virtual Earthquake	Keywords: Geophysics	Description: Virtual Earthquake is an interactive web-based program designed to introduce the concepts of how an earthquake epicenter is located and how the Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined. Virtual Earthquake shows the recordings of an earthquake's seismic waves detected by instruments far away from the earthquake. The instrument recording the seismic waves is called a seismograph and the recording is a seismogram. The point of origin of an earthquake is called its focus and the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. You are to locate the epicenter of an earthquake by making simple measurements on three seismograms that are generated by the Virtual Earthquake program. Additionally, you will be required to determine the Richter Magnitude of that quake from the same recordings. Richter Magnitude is an estimate of the amount of energy released during an earthquake.

Title: Histogram Applet	Keywords: Mathematics	Description: This applet is designed to teach students how bin widths (or the number of bins) affect a histogram. Data used are observations of the duration (in minutes) for eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Students can interactively change the bin width by dragging the arrow underneath the bin width scale. For large bin widths, the bimodal nature of the dataset is hidden, and for small bin widths the plot reduces to a spike at each data point. Students are asked "What bin width do you think provides the best picture of the underlying data?" Code for employing this technique with other datasets is supplied.

Title: Radioactive Decay	Keywords: Geochemistry,Geologic time,Geology	Description: This applet simulates the decay process for four different radioactive decay series in real time (Th232, Pu241, U238, and U235). The simulation can be run in the "animate" mode which automatically picks the time step for the decay process, or it can be run with a user-defined time step. A bar graph depicting the primary elements in the decay series and their relative abundances at each time step illustrates the decay process. Users can stop the decay process at any chosen time to view an Activity Log, which tracks the abundance of series elements according to time passed. A graph plotting neutron # versus atomic # shows the individual decay mode steps from the initial parent to final daughter element.

Title: An Animated History of the Indian Ocean	Keywords: Geologic time,Geophysics,Structural geology	Description: This animation is one result of a determined effort to use new information to better constrain the history of continental dispersal and create a more accurate geological map of reassembled Gondwana. All the continental movements are shown relative to a number of hotspots, the position of which is held fixed with respect to the earth's rotation axis. This gives results that agree overall with paleomagnetic and paleoclimatic information for the period.

Title: Plate Tectonics - Rotate Africa Back to South America Through the Past 135 Million Years	Keywords: Structural geology	Description: The South American and African plates began to separate from one another about 135 million years ago during the break up of the Gondwanaland supercontinent. Since then, these plates have spread apart due to the formation of new oceanic crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The object of this exercise is to determine the pole of rotation that allows Africa to rotate back to South America. In this applet, students input latitude, longitude, and angle of rotation and can observe the resulting plate movements.

Title: Westwide Avalanche Network	Keywords: Natural hazards	Description: The Westwide Avalanche Network is designed for the professional avalanche community, however, this site contains a wealth of information for anyone interested in avalanches and wintertime mountain weather. Avalanche data from ski areas and highway avalanche programs are available for the past 40 years. This includes the most up-to-date Doppler radar, satellite imagery, weather maps and weather data, plus all the internet tools avalanche professionals need to display them. A fee is charged for this service, however other areas of the site are accessible without charge, offering weather, snow, and avalanche reports, and information on safety and education programs. A subscription is required to access the data on this site, that is a $30 fee is required for the SNOTEL data exchange and a $300 membership fee is required for professional organizations requesting industry info(package deals). However, a multitude of information is still available at this site for no charge.

You can view the contents of the whole database as low-resolution images with several examples of high-resolution maps. The complete dataset can be obtained on a CD-ROM soon to be published by the European Geophysical Society. It goes along with a series of twenty-four papers that will be published in a volume titled "Peritethyan Rift/Wrench Basins and Passive Margins" (P.A. Ziegler, W. Cavazza, A.H.F.R. Robertson, eds.), now in press with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. The objective of the project is the integrated structural, stratigraphic, sedimentologic, and petrologic study of the evolution of peritethyan rift/wrench basins. Selected aspects of the intervening orogenic regions in relation to peritethyan development are also included. The area considered extends west to east from the eastern shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mts. and the Indus River, and north to south from the Baltic shield to equatorial Africa. The time frame is from the Moscovian to the Holocene.

Title: Drought Monitor by USDA, NOAA, and the National Drought Mitigation Center	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Natural hazards	Description: The Drought Monitor provides a weekly overview of where in the United States drought is emerging, lingering, subsiding or forecasted. Responding to the need for accurate, centralized drought information, a resource that summarizes information from numerous drought indices and indicators has been created on a single, easy-to-read color map known as the Drought Monitor. The map combines key indices of rainfall and drought to produce the final drought intensity rating. Since drought often affects various activities differently, the map indicates whether drought is affecting agriculture, fire danger, or water supplies.

Title: WorldWatcher	Keywords: Climatology,Educational theory and practice,Environmental science	Description: WorldWatcher is an NSF funded project aimed at exploring the potential of scientific visualization technology to improve science education. The goal is to demonstrate that scientific visualization, incorporated into inquiry-based learning, can enable students of diverse abilities to develop an understanding of complex scientific phenomena. The WorldWatcher Project designs and evaluates learning software, develops and field tests middle and high school curricula, and investigates the process by which students learn to make sense of scientific visualizations. Software products are WorldWatcher, a tool which supports the study of climate and global climate change, and MyWorld GIS, a vector-based geographic information system software that runs in Java on Windows NT, 98, ME, 2000, and MacOS X. Curricula are The Global Warming Project, an eight week, stand alone unit in which middle school students learn about many of the scientific factors that contribute to the controversial global warming debate, and Looking At The Environment, a year long, visually intensive high school environmental science curriculum centered on three key issues: the relationship between population growth and resource availability; electricity generation and meeting the demand for energy; managing water resources for agricultural use and human consumption. Published papers that have emerged from WorldWatcher Project research can be viewed in pdf format.

The size of the U.S., along with its particular geographical and societal conditions, make it susceptible to a wide range of weather phenomena. This report presents a summary of damage suffered from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, lightning, hail, thunderstorms, and windstorms in the United States and its territories. Damages for each type of event are listed by state, as well as ranked by expense. For any given type of event, the composite U.S. and each state have links to graphs showing annual damages for the corresponding period of record. There are sections for floods, tornadoes, lightning, and a section for other (hail, thunderstorms, and windstorms).

Title: Introduction to Geophysical Exploration	Keywords: Geophysics	Description: This site contains resources that support an introductory course in exploration geophysics. The materials are designed for use in teaching geophysics to non-geophysicists. Course materials include all those that you would normally associate with an on-line course; lecture notes, references, on-line quizzes, etc. These materials are divided into four modules, one each describing the theory and use of gravity, magnetic, DC resistivity, and refraction seismic observations. Although traditional course materials are included, the core the course is built around the use and support of an interactive case study approach. Unlike a traditional case study, an interactive case study, through the use of computer simulations, allows students to become engaged in the case study by providing them the opportunity to make all of the relevant decisions (i.e., survey design and cost decisions, data and interpretation decisions, etc.) regarding the case. In completing an interactive case study, the intent is to help students develop an intuitive understanding of the nature of geophysical exploration, and to also develop an appreciation for how geophysicists think, learn how to communicate with them, and develop a sense for what subsurface properties can and can not be constrained by geophysical investigations.

Title: Climate Change from Earth Temperatures : The Big Integrator	Keywords: Climatology	Description: Climate change is commonly associated with long term temperature variation, or energy imbalance, at the Earth's surface. The solid Earth integrates this change and records it as perturbation to a background thermal profile in the upper kilometre of the crust. Detailed measurement of borehole temperatures reveals widespread but variable surface warming in North America over the past 100 to 200 years. This short paper examines these records and discusses the pros and cons of using the geothermal method for climate recontsruction.

Title: Virtual Field Trippin': The Rocks of Central New York	Keywords: Geologic time,Geology,Paleontology	Description: The rocks of the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys of upstate New York tell a fascinating story, both through the rock layers themselves, as well as the life contained within them. Each individual outcrop, while interesting in many ways, pales in comparison to the story that unfolds when many of the units are compared and contrasted regionally. What comes to the surface is a story of tropical seas, violent mountain-building and active volcanoes. This site offers a tour through the region, referenced by the Cambrian, mid- and late- Ordovician, late-Silurian and Devonian geologic time periods.

Title: Viewing Lava Safely - Common Sense is Not Enough	Keywords: Geology,Natural hazards	Description: This page is designed to educate visitors about safety in preparation for visiting Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The volcano has been erupting almost continuously since 1983. Although it is noted for its approachable lava flows, this volcano undergoes many changes that can be unpredictable and life threatening. Without knowledge of the landscape and the processes that form it, visitors can find themselves in dangerous, even deadly, situations. Understanding volcanic hazards and taking the right equipment are keys to safely exploring volcanic landscapes. A map of recent lava flows is included.

Title: The Paleogeographic Atlas Project, Subtitle: University Of Chicago	Keywords: Geology,Paleontology,Physical geography	Description: The Atlas Project interprets paleogeography broadly to include all aspects of map reconstruction from paleo-continental orientations and tectonic considerations to the delineation of past topographic or bathymetric contours and the compilation of lithofacies data. In addition they use the reconstructions as base information for studies of past fossil distributions, and for climatic or oceanographic patterns as determined from the fossils, the sediments, and from computer modeling studies. Their team has worked since the plate tectonic paradigm was introduced to compile information mainly from the literature on all aspects of global paleogeography. Moreover, they have pioneered the application of computer technology to paleogeographic map-making. Their web site contains links to paleogeographic maps and animations, a bibliography with selected abstracts, and numerous pages containing information about the data and methods used to create their maps.

Title: Glacier Peak - History and Hazards of a Cascade Volcano	Keywords: Geology,Natural hazards	Description: This page is about Glacier Peak, the most remote of the five active volcanoes in Washington State. Because it is not prominently visible from any major population center, its attractions as well as its hazards tend to be over-looked. Yet since the end of the last ice age, Glacier Peak has produced some of the largest and most explosive eruptions in the state. During this time period, Glacier Peak has erupted multiple times during at least six separate episodes, most recently about 300 years ago. What were these eruptions like? Could similar ones affect us today? Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are working to answer these questions and help prepare for future activity. The page includes a map of tephra thickness from eruptions 13,000 years ago, a map of areas at risk from lahars, pyroclastic flows and associated phenomena, and a sketch map of annual probability of tephra fall.

Title: Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre	Keywords: Geophysics,Structural geology	Description: The Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC) is concerned with those aspects of the geodynamics of the Australian Tectonic Plate, including the upper mantle, that have had an impact on the formation and location of world-class mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Their ultimate goal is to develop concepts, sciences and technologies that assist the Australian minerals and energy industry to explore and discover these deposits. Specifically, they are interested in the structural and tectonic settings and the geodynamic processes, including heat and fluid sources, pathways for fluid migration, and metamorphic and deformation history, that have resulted in the formation of world-class deposits. The AGCRC home page provides access to abstracts of their publications, information on their projects, and tools that they have developed. The tools include exploration models, map making tools (using their datasets), geophysical and tectonic maps produced by AGCRC, movies about the tectonic evolution of Australia, as well as products available for either direct purchase or as services from licensed, commercial agents.

Title: Eruptions from the Inyo chain about 600 Years Ago: sequence of events and effects in the Long Valley area	Keywords: Geology,Natural hazards	Description: When magma began rising beneath the southern end of the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain about 600 years ago, a remarkable series of eruptions and ground cracking formed what are now familiar features such as lava flows, craters, layers of pumice and ash, and ground cracks between Mammoth Mountain and Obsidian Flow. This volcanic activity probably occurred during a short period of time, perhaps lasting as long as a few weeks to a few months. The sequence of these eruptions can help us to anticipate the type of activity that is likely to occur again from along the chain, and also to recognize the events that will almost certainly precede future eruptions. The web page includes several geologic maps and a shaded-relief map. Users can click to more detailed information drawn from several publications.

Title: Is Glacier Peak a Dangerous Volcano? (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Geology,Natural hazards	Description: Glacier Peak in north-central Washington state is not prominently visible from any major metropolitan centers, and so its attractions, as well as its hazards, tend to be overlooked. Yet, Glacier Peak has produced larger and more explosive eruptions than any other Washington volcano except Mount St. Helens. In the past 14,000 years, Glacier Peak has erupted at least a dozen times, most recently around the eighteenth century. The probability and hazards of a future eruption is discussed. Includes map of thickness of ash erupted from Glacier Peak's largest ash eruption about 13,000 years ago and map of areas inundated by debris flows from Glacier Peak eruptions. This is USGS Open-File Report 95-413.

Title: Plate tectonics and the evolution of climate	Keywords: Geology	Description: Recent work has shown that climate, life, and tectonics interact in ways that are sometimes profound yet not obvious. Norman Sleep reviews two better understood terrestrial examples in this paper. First, the development of compressional orogens is strongly influenced by climate in that the extent of erosion determines whether high or low mountain ranges develop. Second, global geochemical processes are strongly influenced by tectonics and climate. For example, the build-up of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere has been aided by deposit of organic-rich sediments in new ocean basins which prevented reaction of the oxygen with the reduced products of photosynthesis. The volume of the ocean depends on the extent to which water is subducted within the oceanic crust and sediments and on the extent which this water is returned to the surface at island arcs. Comparative planetology and further terrestrial studies are likely to yield additional examples of climatic, biological, and tectonic interaction.

Title: Hands-On: Developing Active Learning Modules On The Human Dimensions Of Global Change	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography,Policy issues,Environmental science	Description: This is the site for the Association of American Geographers Hands-On education project. This site provides ten teaching/learning modules focused on the human dimensions of global change. Designed for use in any introductory course that deals with human-environment relationships, the modules actively engage students in problem solving, challenge them to think critically, invite them to participate in the process of scientific inquiry, and involve them in cooperative learning. Each module consists of several units, each of which focuses on an aspect of the module's theme. The core of each unit is a variety of student activities that have been designed to be challenging but not baffling. The activities vary in type, in the time they require, in skill level assumed, and in the skills developed. They involve critical reading, data collection, assessment, interpretation and analysis, map reading and interpretation, field trips, interviewing, role playing, and writing for particular audiences. Many activities link the student's own lives with processes of local, regional, and global change. Each unit comes with some background reading to introduce the topic. The modules provide instructors with a broad array of specific ideas for involving students actively and collaboratively in learning about nature-society relationships. Instructors can choose the activities that best suit their class size, students' abilities, and institutional settings. Some activities can be completed in one class session whereas others are out-of-class projects and may take longer. An instructor who uses an entire module will have material for roughly two weeks of classes.

Title: Spatial Consensus-building Through Access to Web-based GIS: An Online Planning Tool For Leipzig	Keywords: Policy issues,Technology	Description: This paper examines how emerging information system technologies and consensus techniques can be integrated to overcome barriers to land use planning. Complex planning and decision making require close collaboration among many parties, yet communication and collaboration breakdowns are often at the heart of failed planning efforts. Among other factors, a lack of trust and inadequate institutional support for communication among stakeholders tend to hinder effective spatial planning. Recent developments in geographic information systems (GIS) and network technology can be combined to enhance communication among multiple stakeholders and their access to relevant information. To take advantage of the opportunities offered by these technologies, a framework that organizes and integrates stakeholders and technologies must be devised. This paper proposes a model that is based on an Internet client/server architecture and organized around a "hub institution." It describes the model's main components that facilitate joint planning among multiple stakeholders in a mediated online environment. It concludes with design recommendations for implementing such an online planning model.

Title: Long-lasting Eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i Leads to Volcanic-Air Pollution	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Environmental science,Natural hazards	Description: In 1986 the eruption of Kilauea Volcano changed from the episodic fountaining of lava and gas at Pu`u O`o cone every few weeks to the continuous outpouring of lava from a new vent only 3 kilometers away. The volcano began releasing a large, steady supply of sulfur dioxide gas into the atmosphere. During the episodic activity, enough time had elapsed between fountaining episodes for the prevailing trade winds (brisk winds from the northeast of Hawai`i) to blow volcanic gas away from the island. When the eruption style changed, however, the daily release of as much as 2,000 tons of sulfur dioxide gas led to a persistent air pollution problem downwind. The sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas released reacts chemically with sunlight, oxygen, dust particles, and water in the air to form a mixture of sulfate (S04-2) aerosols (tiny particles and droplets), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and other oxidized sulfur species. Together, this gas and aerosol mixture produces a hazy atmospheric condition known as volcanic smog or "vog." The condition is illustrated with 7 photographs, a shaded-relief map of the Island of Hawai`i showing the wind patterns, and a diagram of 1992-1997 SO2 emissions rates from Kilauea Volcano's east rift zone.

Title: Kids in the Creek	Keywords: Biology,Ecology,Environmental science,Hydrology	Description: This website houses lessons and activities for the classroom and for field use. The goal is to provide students with a simple method of assessing the long-term health of a stream by viewing and identifying the stream’s diversity of aquatic insects, and observing the world they inhabit. It explains the importance of a healthy watershed and the effect of a vibrant forest canopy and riparian area on the stream and its water quality. It also connects the conditions of the stream being explored to the immediate food chain as well as the entire ecosystem. Lessons cover water-testing procedures for temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH as well as methods for collecting and identifying aquatic insect indicator species. The Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Survey and Macroinvertebrate Stream Study components involve a stream field trip to find pollution tolerant and intolerant macroinvertebrates. However, this information may be incorporated as part of an in-class curriculum. Classroom follow-up activities include water quality testing, creation of a fishless aquarium and comparison of aquatic insect life cycle stages. A teacher's guide, student workbook, insect identification keys, and glossary are provided.

Title: Effects of Pyroclastic Flows and Surges at Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat	Keywords: Natural hazards	Description: Even before viscous lava first breached the old forest-covered lava dome of Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, in November 1995, scientists monitoring the volcano were concerned about the potential effects of pyroclastic flows and surges that would likely accompany the emplacement of a new dome in the volcano's summit crater. In the two years following the initial eruptive activity on July 18, 1995, the new dome continued to grow and several thousand people living on the southern part of Montserrat were evacuated. Villages and farmland on all flanks of the volcano were severely damaged, buried, or destroyed. Illustrations include about 10 photographs and a simplified map showing the extent of the pyroclastic flow and surge deposits from the June 25, 1997 event.

Title: "What's that cloud upriver?" An eyewitness account of a lahar	Keywords: Natural hazards,Geology	Description: This web page provides a first person account of a geologist's encounter with a lahar while surveying the Nima II river near the town of El Palmar in Guatemala, on August 14, 1989. Lahar is an Indonesian term that describes a hot or cold mixture of water and rock fragments flowing down the slopes of a volcano and (or) river valleys. While about 15 kilometers downstream from an active lava dome, Santiaguito (which is in the Santa Maria Volcano crater) the workers noticed a white steam cloud upriver. A very heavy rainstorm was passing through that area and they knew a hot lahar was likely to be on the way. They secured their equipment and were able to gain a perch on a nearby bridge with their cameras. After witnessing a hot lahar passing underneath they retreated to high ground. The account is illustrated with 4 photographs.

Title: The tr660 Program	Keywords: Geophysics,Mineralogy or petrology	Description: The tr660 program models the mineralogy and physical properties for various chemical compositions in the Earth's mantle where a transition occurs in these properties at about 660 km depth. The program is based on the algorithm described in a paper by Donald J. Weidner and Yanbin Wang. It is written in Java from a FORTRAN code originally developed for this paper. This program is designed to be used for research purposed to test the effects of varying chemical composition, temperature, and physical properties on the inferred physical properties of the Earth through these phase transformations. The graphing output is versatile allowing the user to view any of the calculated variables as a function of depth. The output can be imported to a file in the users platform for further analysis.

There are two primary objectives of WATERSHEDSS. One, is to transfer water quality and land treatment information to watershed managers in order to assist them in making appropriate land management and land treatment decisions to achieve water quality goals. The other is to assess and evaluate sources, impacts, and potential management options for control of nonpoint source pollution (NPS) in a watershed based on user-supplied information and decisions. WATERSHEDSS is comprised of six main components: 1. Water Resource Page, a user interface that serves as the watershed assessment and evaluation framework for the decision support system. 2. Educational Component, which contains detailed information and references on nonpoint source pollution pollutants and sources. 3. Nonpoint source library, an annotated bibliography of nonpoint source literature. 4. An agricultural best management practice (BMP) data base. 5. A linked Geographical Information System water quality model, and agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Simulation (AGNPS). 6. A pollutant budget spreadsheet. Maps generated by the GIS will allow the user to evaluate the impacts of different land treatment practices and their placement on the landscape on water quality.

Title: Safe Water for the Future	Keywords: Environmental science,Hydrology,Policy issues	Description: This website is an education series that focuses on helping both communities and individuals protect water supplies and the environment through understanding risks and taking actions to prevent problems. Information is provided on four main topics related to water quality protection: wellhead protection, watershed protection, protecting home well water quality, and general drinking water information. Wellhead protection is a way to protect drinking water by managing a designated area around the community's water supply wells to prevent contamination. Watershed protection is a means of protecting a lake, river, or stream by managing the entire watershed that drains into it. Information is provided on two voluntary programs, Indiana Home*A*Syst and Farm*A*Syst programs. The programs use surveys and fact sheets for both home and farm, so that individuals can quickly find the level of risk to drinking water and how to reduce that risk. A list of frequently asked questions about water quality are also provided, with informative answers and web links to other agencies that specialize in water protection. Online publications are available for download on the following topics: Wellhead Protection, Education, Farm*A*Syst, Fact Sheets, and Drinking Water. There is also a special section of water activities for children.

Title: Deadly Lahars from Nevado del Ruiz, Colombia: November 13, 1985	Keywords: Natural hazards	Description: This web site describes a series of Lahars that occurred from the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in the Andes mountains, the northernmost and highest volcano in Colombia. Beginning in November 1984, the volcano began showing clear signs of unrest. An explosive eruption from Ruiz's summit crater on November 13, 1985, at 9:08 p.m. generated an eruption column and sent a series of pyroclastic flows and surges across the volcano's summit. Within minutes, pumice and ash began to fall to the northeast along with heavy rain that had started earlier in the day. Within four hours, lahars had traveled 100 km and left behind a wake of destruction: more than 23,000 people killed, about 5,000 injured, and more than 5,000 homes destroyed along the Chinchiná, Gualí, and Lagunillas rivers. This deadly eruption of Nevado del Ruiz offers lessons on the generation of lahars for scientists, emergency-response professionals, and communities located downstream of such ice- and snow-covered volcanoes. The narrative is illustrated with 9 photographs.

Title: Nationwide Rivers Inventory	Keywords: Hydrology	Description: The Nationwide Rivers Inventory (NRI) is a listing of more than 3,400 free-flowing river segments in the United States that are believed to possess one or more "outstandingly remarkable" natural or cultural values judged to be of more than local or regional significance. The NRI is a source of information for statewide river assessments and federal agencies involved with stream-related projects. For any group concerned with ecosystem management, the inventory can provide the location of the nearest naturally- functioning system, which might serve as a reference for monitoring activities. It also serves as a listing of plant and animal species for restoration efforts on a similar section of river. For the recreationalist, it provides a listing of free-flowing, relatively undisturbed river segments. Interpretation aides include an audio explanation of the NRI, and an Interactive Map Server - Map segments by state, county, or watershed. A free CD-ROM formatted for use with GIS Arc/Info and ArcView software can be ordered.

Title: Water Quality (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Ecology,Environmental science,Hydrology	Description: This site houses a module on Water Quality. The module is designed to be informative and interactive. Students are presented with a simulated situation where their newest client, who owns a catch and release fishing guide service, is upset over the fact that the fish in a stretch of "Bear Creek" have been dying. The client has called on the student's firm to figure out what is killing the fish in that section of Bear Creek, and how to stop it. Preliminary fieldwork has been done on Bear Creek and is available for the student's analysis. The biological, chemical, and physical data for this watershed are realistic values based on data found in similar situations. The data are listed in tables, and are also available to the students for download into a spreadsheet. Guided lectures on the hydrosphere, water pollution, and water quality assessment are provided, as well as a link to another module on a real watershed. For additional aides, a site glossary, reference information, a listing of related links, and a model outline of the steps to follow for the Problem Based Learning (PBL) situation are given. As this module is part of the online series of Exploring the Environment (ETE), teachers interested in using this site will have to register for a free password in order to gain access to the Teacher's Pages.

Title: Exploring the Environment	Keywords: Biology,Chemistry,Climatology,Ecology,Environmental science,Geology,Hydrology,Technology	Description: This is the home site for the online series of Exploring the Environment (ETE). Exploring The Environment features an integrated approach to environmental earth science through modules and activities. The vision of the ETE online series is to promote science-literate and reflective students who are knowledgeable of the earth's processes and their responsibilities for stewardship. The modules and activities incorporate environmental issues such as water quality, deforestation, biodiversity, volcanoes, ozone depletion, and global climate change. Standard problem-solving models, online resources that include relevant satellite imagery, and recommendations for extended inquiry are available to students. Student-directed research generally lasts a minimum of five weeks but often extends throughout the semester. Working cooperatively or individually, students engage in problem-based modules and activities that require them to formulate problem statements; to collect and analyze data; and then to prepare and present their findings, solutions, or recommendations. These findings, solutions, or recommendations should demonstrate students' understanding and awareness of the dynamics of physical, biological and socio-economic variables. The ETE modules can augment existing science courses, and they are interdisciplinary in nature, so that they can also be used in courses such as economics, social studies, and history. Teachers interested in using this site will have to register for a free password, in order to gain access to the Teacher's Pages.

Title: 50th Anniversary of Mauna Loa's Most Spectacular Eruption	Keywords: Natural hazards	Description: The 1950 eruption was the largest and most spectacular eruption from the southwest rift zone of Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii, since written records have been kept. It was especially noteworthy, for lava was erupted from a nearly continuous 20-km-long fissure along the middle portion of the rift zone. Flows reached the sea in less than four hours. The description includes 5 photographs, a map of a portion of the southwest rift of Mauna Loa showing the 1950 flows and place names, and a relief map showing distribution of 1950 flows with labels for named flows.

Title: Earthquake on June 6, 1994, Triggers Landslides and Catastrophic Lahar Near Nevado del Huila Volcano, Colombia	Keywords: Natural hazards	Description: This page describes how quickly an earthquake-triggered lahar happened and the losses that occurred. Some losses may have occurred because people did not know they should flee to high ground after an earthquake. Within minutes of the 1994 magnitude 6.4 earthquake beneath the south-southwest flank of Nevado del Huila volcano in Colombia, dozens of landslides swept down from the steep valleys above Río Paez. The landslides quickly turned into debris flows, which joined to produce a single enormous flow. That lahar destroyed most of or parts of several towns along the river and displaced about 20,000 people from their homes. There were several hundred casualties. Bridges and roads were destroyed. The location map of Nevado del Huila volcano shows the path of the 1994 lahar.

Title: 1989-90 Eruption of Redoubt Volcano, Alaska, and the First Test Case of a USGS Lahar-Detection System	Keywords: Geophysics,Natural hazards	Description: This web page describes the lahars that swept down the Drift River Valley during the 1989-90 eruption of Redoubt Volcano, Alaska, and the testing of a new experimental detection and warning system designed to track lahars and debris flows and to give warning to people downstream. In this case, an oil-storage facility in the Cook Inlet area was at risk. The seismometers used (acoustic-flow monitors) were sensitive to ground vibration at relatively high frequencies. On April 6, 1990 the system did detect and track lahars moving down a valley in real time. The amplitude and ground velocity data are diagrammed.

The presentation is structured to inform and entice virtual and future park visitors with a non-technical approach to geology. Everyone from middle-school age to experts will find something of interest. Each 'entry' page including the first page of any topic is presented at the most basic level. The presentation becomes increasingly specialized and uses more technical language as one goes deeper into the site. Lots of material is specifically directed towards park interpreters and educators. Pages are organized into general geology topics and individual parks. Basic information is provided for geologic maps, plate tectonics, rocks and minerals, and geologic time. A glossary and links to education resources are included. Materials are also provided on geomorphic provinces, sand dunes, caves, animations, glaciers, and coasts. Additional sites are dedicated to the unique geologic history and resources of specific parks; each is jointly developed by park interpreters and USGS staff. These pages may include both technical and education resources.

Volcanoes is an interdisciplinary set of materials for grades 4-8. Through the story of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, students will answer fundamental questions about volcanoes: "What is a volcano?" "Where do volcanoes occur and why?" "What are the effects of volcanoes on the Earth system?" "What are the risks and the benefits of living near volcanoes?" "Can scientists forecast volcanic eruptions?" A teacher guide (with glossary and bibliography) and information from the two-sided color poster are included with 6 lessons and other supporting materials. Many of the activities included require basic map skills. Each lesson includes Illustrated background information, Two step-by-step timed activities, Reproducible Master Sheets for making overhead transparencies or photocopies, and Reproducible Activity Sheets for students. The Master Sheets and some Activity Sheets are in PDF format. Students conclude the last lesson by creating materials they could use to explain volcanoes and their hazards to a community living near an active volcano.

Title: National Data Buoy Center	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physical oceanography	Description: The National Data Buoy Center maintains a current database of meteorological and hydrological data, historical data, and written information generated by the National Weather Service or received from other official sources. This site makes available in real time a selection of current official weather observations, forecasts and warnings from the Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations and moored buoys. C-MAN stations have been installed on lighthouses, at capes and beaches, on near shore islands, and on offshore platforms. C-MAN station data typically include barometric pressure, wind direction, speed and gust, and air temperature; however, some C-MAN stations are designed to also measure sea water temperature, water level, waves, relative humidity, precipitation, and visibility. The National Data Buoy Center's moored buoys measure and transmit barometric pressure; wind direction, speed, and gust; air and sea temperature; and wave energy spectra from which significant wave height, dominant wave period, and average wave period are derived. Even the direction of wave propagation is measured on many moored buoys. The site also includes lessons about weather and oceanographic phenomena such as sea breezes, the causes of ocean surface waves, tides, and hurricanes. Explanations include data from buoys or C-MAN stations and graphics.

Title: Let's Make Diamonds	Keywords: Geology,Mineralogy or petrology	Description: This activity is sponsored by ACEPT, Arizona Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers, and was developed in cooperation with CHiPR, Center for High Pressure Research. It has four objectives: to explore the differences between graphite and diamond, to investigate the conditions required for the formation of diamonds, to begin to understand how crystalline structure affects physical and chemical properties of a substance, and to gain some understanding of how materials change under varying conditions of temperature and pressure. It is divided into two parts: In the first part, students observe samples and crystalline models, and develop some possible explanations for their observations. In the second part, students use computer simulations to "synthesize" a diamond. Both parts are best done in small teams of 2-4 people.

Title: Clean Water Action Plan	Keywords: Environmental science,Hydrology,Policy issues	Description: This site offers information for the public about the Clean Water Action Plan. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, the White House asked federal agencies to develop and implement a comprehensive plan that would help revitalize the nation's commitment to our valuable water resources. The result was the Clean Water Action Plan in February 1998. The key actions described focus on achieving cleaner water by strengthening public health protections, targeting watershed protection efforts at high priority areas, and providing communities with new resources to control polluted runoff and enhance natural resource stewardship. 111 key actions were developed in the Action Plan to build a new framework for watershed protection. Accomplishments of these 111 key actions in the Action Plan include: focusing on watersheds, protecting public health, expanding citizens' right to know, controlling polluted runoff, and incentives for private land stewardship. Links describing each of these accomplishments are provided in this site. Other information includes a chronological list of what's new with the Clean Water Action Plan, and released reports, including the Coastal Research and Monitoring Strategy, and the Unified Federal Policy for a Watershed Approach to Federal Land and Resource Management.

Users are welcome to submit comments or suggestions or contributions to the site. The only limits on contributions are that they must follow the site's format and carry your byline. The site's other main features currently are: A timeline of major events between 1800 and 1950; An annotated bibliography of history of biology books; A page of Darwin quotes; A page detailing major 19th century scientific expeditions; Pages for institutions which played a role in the history of evolutionary biology; Minimal biographies of major (and not so major) figures; and a Photo gallery: pages that have photos and little else. The editor is planning to create "famous historical episodes" pages.

Title: Radiation Balance	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Physical geography	Description: Radiation Balance challenges students to "become a meteorologist" and make predictions about the relationships among ground cover, time of day, altitude and temperature. It is a simulation of radiation processes in the earth's atmosphere caused by solar, terrestrial, and atmospheric radiation transfer. Students analyze temperature data measured by a balloon (radiosonde) that they "launch" both in the morning and evening over four types of terrain (sand, plowed field, grass or fresh snow). As the balloon is dragged and dropped to various heights in the simulated atmosphere, the temperatures at these altitudes are automatically plotted on a graph. Several temperature profiles may be plotted concurrently to compare differences before clearing the graph.

Title: Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse	Keywords: Environmental science,Geology,Hydrology,Physical geography	Description: This site is a gateway to GIS data and imagery for Illinois geology, hydrology, natural history, conservation, environment, land use, Public Land Survey, and infrastructure. These data have been made available by several divisions of the Illinois DNR and address such topics as groundwater, wells, mines, geologic materials, nature preserves, wildlife areas, administrative and political boundaries, roads, census information, and many others. The Scientific Surveys and Offices of the Illinois DNR have used GIS technology for research in the public service for many years, and have established a history of creating, publishing and distributing information to the public, government, academia, and industry. Over the years there has been an increasing demand for digital geospatial data from all of these sectors, and DNR has worked in several ways to meet this demand: by direct distribution of data to end users, in cooperative projects with other organizations, through significant contributions of digital data to multi agency CD ROM compilations, and by taking prominent roles on the Illinois Geographic Information System (IGIS) Committee. As a result of participation in national, state, county, and local projects to serve the environmental, geological, socioeconomic, and civil planning needs of Illinois and the Midwest United States, the Illinois DNR has numerous individual GIS data sets (most in Arc Info format) available for analytical use.

Title: Anthony's Nose, New York: A Review of Three Mineral Localities (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Mineralogy or petrology	Description: This web site describes three mineral locations in the area of Anthony's Nose, a prominent highland east of the Hudson River in New York State. Two of the sites are over 150 years old and have been long forgotten. Yet surprisingly minerals may still be easily collected at these sites. Unfortunately there has been much confusion about the exact localities and mineral occurrences. This paper attempts to clarify and correct much of the misinformation, and describe the present collecting opportunities. Sections include a brief introduction on the mineral types and localities of the area, the regional geology, the history of the area, calcite occurrence, and the current status and access.

Title: The Remote Sensing Tutorial	Keywords: Space science,Technology	Description: This is the web page for the National Aeronautics & Space Administration's Remote Sensing Tutorial, a training manual for learning the role of space science and technology and for using remote sensing to monitor planetary bodies and distant stars and galaxies. The Earth itself is the main focus. The tutorial defines remote sensing and then provides an in-depth explanation of how remote sensing is applied to the study of the land, sea, air and biotic communities that comprise the Earth’s environments, its vital role in exploring the planets and reaching the stars and galaxies well out into the Cosmos. Not only does it provide insight into past uses of aerial photography and space imagery, but it also helps the user develop skills in interpreting these visual displays and data sets by direct inspection and by computer processing. Using a processing program called PIT, it even allows the user to apply their newly acquired knowledge to actual image interpretation on "raw" image data available from the Internet. Due to the comprehensive nature of the tutorial, it is adequate for use either as a bona fide text or as a supplement.

Title: Cadillac Desert: Water And The Transformation Of Nature	Keywords: Environmental science,Human geography,Hydrology,Policy issues	Description: This website is the interactive guide that accompanies the four part Public Broadcasting System (PBS) documentary, Cadillac Desert. The documentary borrows its name from Marc Reisner's groundbreaking book, Cadillac Desert. This book explores the history of water use and misuse in the American West, the extremes of triumph and disaster, heroism and intrigue, bitter rivalries and strange bedfellows that dominate this little-known chapter of U.S. history. The focus of the first three parts of the documentary is based on Reisner's Cadillac Desert. The final episode is drawn from Sandra Postel's book, Last Oasis, and examines the global impact of the technologies and policies that came out of America's manipulation of water, demonstrating how they have created the need for conservation methods that will protect Earth's water for the next century. This site features abstracts of the four episodes: Episode One: Mulholland's Dream, Episode Two: An American Nile, Episode Three: The Mercy of Nature, and Episode Four: Last Oasis. Also available: Mike Malone Interviews the Authors (written format), Fact Guides: A Water World and What You Can Do to Help Conserve Water.

Title: Federal Geographic Data Committee	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography,Technology	Description: The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is an interagency committee organized in 1990 to promote the coordinated dissemination and application of geospatial data through development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). In cooperation with governmental, academic, nonprofit and private sector organizations, the FGDC is developing the NSDI as a base structure of policies, standards, procedures and relationships among data producers and users that will leverage individual geographic data efforts, and thereby facilitate expedited and expanded sharing, access, and use of geospatial data. The NSDI will (1) reduce duplication of effort among agencies, (2) improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, (3) make geographic data more available to the public, (4) increase the benefits of using available data, and (4) establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability. The Geospatial Data Clearinghouse (i.e., the National Spatial Data Clearinghouse) is a collection of over 250 servers having digital geographic data primarily for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), image processing systems, and other modeling software and prepared in accordance with NSDI protocols. While facilitated by the FGDC, the Clearinghouse is cooperative and decentralized, having six regional gateways. From the FGDC site, one can search the Clearinghouse gateways, browse the organizational sites of the registered NSDI Clearinghouse Nodes, download papers pertaining to the metadata, standards, framework, and stakeholders associated with development of the NSDI, or search through the partner site of the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) for online geospatial data by general subject, state GIS and base map sources, or other U.S. organizational sites hosting national scale data.

Title: Trends in Precipitation Chemistry in the United States, 1983-94: An Analysis of the Effects in 1995 of Phase I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Title IV.	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Policy issues,Environmental science	Description: Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA-90) (Public Law 101-549) seeks to reduce acidic deposition in the United States through phased reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. One of the first steps in assessing the effectiveness of such emissions reductions is to evaluate spatial and temporal trends in sulfate, nitrate, and hydrogen ion concentrations in precipitation. Filed as USGS Report 96-0346, this document details a study to evaluate the effects of Public Law 101-549 on such emission levels as monitored at National Atmospheric Deposition program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) sites in 1995. The assessment was based on a comparison of observed 1995 sulfate, nitrate, and hydrogen ion concentrations at these NADP/NTN sites with estimates obtained from linear least-squares trend models of precipitation chemistry data collected from 1983 through 1994. After a review of various reports detailing temporal trends in precipitation chemistry in North America and in the Netherlands, the report details the deposition monitoring of NAPD/NFN sites with datasets included either as tables in html or as figures in GIF formats. The research was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey as a contribution to the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program.

Title: Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC)	Keywords: Environmental science,Physical oceanography	Description: The Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) project is a four-year feasibility study funded by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) of the University of California. ATOC is composed of two complementary environmental initiatives. ATOC's first goal is to gather information about oceanic temperatures so as to test and modify existing climate models and thereby improve on future climate change predictions. The technique consists of transmitting sound waves across entire oceans, with the time of wave transit being indicative of relative ocean temperatures. ATOC's second goal is implemented through its Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP). Led by bioacoustic researchers, the MMRP has been designed to assess the potential effects of low frequency sound transmissions on sea turtles and marine mammals (specifically, deep-diving pinnipeds, odontocetes, and mysticetes). While MMRP researchers are responsible for the operation and scheduling of the transmissions, climatic data is collected opportunistically at ATOC receiver sites. The ATOC website contains reports of the project strategies, periodic results from both projects, descriptions of the receiver sites, and the transmission schedules.

Title: Dictionary of Quaternary Acronyms and Abbreviations	Keywords: Geology	Description: This dictionary consists of acronyms and abbreviations used in Quaternary studies. It includes abbreviations for societies, projects, government agencies, and identifiers for radiocarbon and American Meteorological Society (AMS) laboratories and museum collections. It also includes some often-encountered abbreviations for geographic entities, such as Canadian Provinces, United States states, and countries. In addition, "terms in common use" are included, such as time or climate-stratigraphic units and dating methods. Other abbreviations include terms that are used in sub-disciplines of Quaternary studies. These terms are not always explained and, because they are new or only used in a restricted sub-discipline, they are not always included in standard earth science dictionaries. When possible, links to sites providing additional information for many of the societies, organizations and projects listed here are included. A dictionary specific search is also available.

Title: Probable Influence of Geography on the Development and Global Distribution of Tournasian-early Visean Age (Waulsortian and Waulsorian-like) Mud Mounds	Keywords: Physical geography	Description: This is a research paper on the occurrence of Waulsortian mounds, also known as Tournasian-early Visean mud mounds. These features are unique because unlike other carbonate buildups in the stratigraphic record, they lack an identifiable frame-building organism. These mounds were the only type of organic buildup known to have formed during the period of strongly suppressed reef building that followed the Late Devonian collapse of the reef-building biotic community. Sections of this paper include information on mound characteristics, paleogeography, paleoclimates and paleo-upwelling, and paleo-storm tracks. This paper suggests that lack of storm energy in two large areas of Laurussia provided long-term stability and thus enhanced the growth prospects of the frame-deficient Waulsortian and Waulsortian-like mud mounds. An extensive bibliography and figure of the Visean geography showing locations of Waulsortian and Waulsortian-like mounds are also provided.

Title: Understanding the Biosphere from the Top Down	Keywords: Environmental science,Physical geography,Technology,Physics	Description: The purpose of this project is to present the holistic study of the biosphere using remote sensing technology. The intention is to have students perceive the biosphere as containing interlinked environments and organisms, an ability which would later aid students when they are introduced to concepts like trophic levels and energy flow within an ecosystem and in the biosphere. It is also expected that students learn the elements of the physics involved in remote sensing, the ideas of measuring things from a distance, and the difference between two and three-dimensional representation. The site contains a 22-lesson package written by grade school teachers with the advice and help of Ames Research Center (ARC) personnel in Earth Sciences. The lessons were written by teachers for teachers, so many contain instructions about advance preparation and planning that must be done before the students are given the tasks to perform. The lessons are not a specific set of instructions, but rather are guidelines to be used and modified as needed by each teacher to fit into unique classrooms. While each lesson may be used separately and generally stands alone, students without a remote sensing understanding should start with one or more of the lessons devoted to the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). Then students should do the lesson devoted to 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional perception. A lesson on maps and topography should follow and then students should study the concept of scale. A number of lessons deal with aspects of remote sensing. The last module deals with landscape change.

Title: International Research Institute for Climate Prediction - IRI/LDEO Climate Data Library (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physical oceanography,Climatology	Description: The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI/LDEO) Climate Data Library contains a wide variety of Earth science data, primarily oceanographic and atmospheric datasets. This site is designed to make the library accessible and user-friendly for novices and advanced users alike, with services such as an introduction to climate data, a data library overview, and step-by-step examples, as well as posted answers to commonly asked questions. There are three main divisions of the data library: the Maproom, Finding Data, and Mastering the Data Library. The Maproom is a collection of maps and other figures that monitor climate conditions at present and in the recent past. The map rooms are divided into 3 sections: Global, Regional, and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The maps and figures can be manipulated and are linked to the original data. Even if the primary interest is in data rather than figures, this is a good place to see which datasets are particularly useful for monitoring current conditions. Finding Data includes database searches, electronic magazines, and interactive learning materials. Mastering the Data Library is divided into many sections which help users interact with the data. The interface allows the user to make plots, tables, and files from any dataset, its subsets, or processed versions thereof. A data server is designed to make data accessible to people using WWW clients (viewers) and to serve as a data resource for WWW documents. Since most documents cannot use raw data, the server is able to deliver the data in a variety of ways: as data files, as tables, and in a variety of plots (line, contour, color, vector) and plot formats (PostScript and gif). Processing of the data, particularly averaging and sampling, can be requested as well. The ultimate vision is to automatically create a web of hypertext that connects final results to analyses of the original data.

Title: The Virtual Geography Department	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography,Technology	Description: The Virtual Geography Department in an ongoing project that hopes to interlink geography department curricula both nationally and internationally using the Internet and World Wide Web. The goal of the Virtual Geography Department Project is to offer high quality curricular materials and classroom and laboratory modules that can be used across the Internet by geography students and faculty at any university in the world, and all the while, promote collaborative research. Stress is being placed on curriculum integration through the creation of on-line "electronic" texts and resource materials that will be of service to a wide range of departments. The project links existing materials on the Internet and has commissioned new materials to address topics not now represented. In this way, geographers at many universities can share the time and expense of developing hypermedia and multimedia curricular materials and benefit from the materials that might not otherwise be made available commercially. Specific curricula materials, classroom modules, and laboratory exercises that presently available are categorized by the following topics: cartography, earth's environment and society, geographic information systems/remote sensing/statistics, history and philosophy of geography, physical geography, urban and economic geography, virtual fieldtrips, and world regional geography and area studies. The site also provides links to geography departments throughout the world, links to geography-related online courses organized by subject, and links to online resources for geographers such as geography-related journals, professional organizations, and map collections.

Title: Living in the Biosphere: Production, Pattern, Population, and Diversity	Keywords: Environmental science,Physical geography	Description: This module examines the links between the human dimensions of global environmental change (including causes, impacts, and responses), and biogeographic patterns and dynamics. The focus is on the scale at which each of the processes occur, ranging from the molecular or submolecular level for abiotic processes to the global scale for disturbance and dispersal processes. The module focuses on how changes in a process at particular geographic scales affect biological production, pattern, population, and diversity of organisms. The material in this module also treats ecology explicitly in its spatial context, i.e., it includes the exchanges of mass, energy, and genetic materials across boundaries and scales. Boundary conditions are recognized as dynamic, and exchanges with environs depend on the attributes of the surrounding spaces in all directions. Specifically, this module focuses on four fundamental areas of biogeography that are linked to environmental variability and change: the mass transfer processes that work through the hydrologic, carbon, and nutrient cycles; the importance of populations of organisms at various positions in the food web in recycling nutrient energy; the processes by which organism populations occupy space; and the roles played by disturbance and dispersal in assembling sets of diverse organisms in geographic spaces. The module is divided into four units: introduction, production, pattern, and diversity. The units are thematically coherent and could, if necessary, stand alone. The module contains a reference section, supporting materials and an appendix. The supporting materials can be used to facilitate the teaching of this module or simply to augment it with interesting ideas and information. Additional sections with further information include a list of acronyms, a glossary, and a section on active pedagogy.

Title: Human Impacts on Land Use/Land Cover	Keywords: Environmental science,Human geography	Description: This module introduces students to the impacts humans have on land use/land cover change throughout the world. It illustrates the central role of the study of land use/cover change within the larger field of global environmental and climatic change, and is thus a good unit to introduce the latter topic. The module concentrates on what forces drive land use/land cover change, but also investigates the impacts of land use/land cover change on the environment and human societies, and additionally, how humans can respond to these changes most effectively. In the first unit of the module students are introduced to the human dimensions of global change, and they learn about the central role that the study of land use/land cover change plays within the larger field of global environmental and climatic change. In the second unit, students learn about selected land use/land cover areas and take a critical look at the data available for their study. In the third unit, students relate land use changes to human driving forces, and link changes at a global scale to those at a local scale, thus making global change a personal concern. The module includes supporting materials such as links to relevant organizations, external data sources, supporting research projects, a glossary, references for additional readings, and notes on active pedagogy.

Title: Global Change and Environmental Hazards: Is the World Becoming More Disastrous?	Keywords: Human geography,Natural hazards	Description: This module is an introductory exploration of natural hazards and how societies react and adapt to such events. Unit 1 of the module introduces basic hazard concepts, types, and characteristics, and addresses the five key questions that form the core of research on hazards and global change. The unit raises the fundamental question of what environmental hazards are and uses insights from hazard research to demonstrate the variety of answers to this question; it then stresses the need for common definitions of hazard-related terms in order to investigate and communicate societal and physical trends. Unit 2 ("Are things getting better or worse?") considers trends in hazard occurrences, impacts, and societal vulnerability to hazards. The relatively bleak picture that emerges at the end of this unit - mainly as a result of the trends in societal vulnerability - is the starting point for Unit 3, which considers how societies respond and adjust to environmental hazards. Unit 3 explains the ways in which humans respond to and mitigate hazards and emphasizes the differential vulnerability of various populations. Each unit includes focus issues, which highlight timely topics and provide specific examples. Overall, the module provides students with a basic understanding of hazards, vulnerability, impacts, and mitigation strategies; it also gives students an opportunity to consider the complex relationships among social, geophysical, and technological factors and what these imply for future hazard events and experiences. Students actively engage with the material through mapping, role playing, media analysis, group discussion, numeracy, and graphing exercises. Most materials that are required for these activities are provided. Throughout, the module challenges students to take a critically aware stance on the subjects of global change and hazards.

Title: National Park Service Wildlife and Plants	Keywords: Biology,Ecology,Environmental science,Policy issues	Description: Here can be found a collection of biological fact sheets, reports, brochures, links, and program descriptions pertaining to public resources within the National Park system. Resources are primarily text-based and are organized by the following topics: wildlife and fisheries, plants, biological diversity, pest management, and exotic species. Selected individual topics include Peregrine falcon restoration, coral reef protection and management, Integrated Pest Management, Threatened and Endangered Species protection, and exotic species control. Beyond the text resources there is the Deer Management Simulator (DMS) (and accompanying tutorial), designed to assist natural resource specialists attempting to manage problems relating to overabundant ungulate populations. The DMS takes input on deer population demography and dispersion to parameterize a spatially explicit individual-based population model which it combines with GIS databases to predict population spatial and numerical responses to management scenarios. Also accessible is the Alien Plants Ranking System (APRS), a computer-implemented system to assist land management decisions regarding invasive nonnative plants. Using a questionnaire as input and providing output in both datasheet and graphical form, the APRS is an analytical tool to separate innocuous from invasive species and address the feasibility of control of the latter species.

Title: AirWeb: Protecting Air Quality	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Environmental science,Policy issues	Description: A combined effort of the National Park Service Air Resources Division (NPS-ARD) in conjunction with the Fish and Wildlife Service Air Quality Branch (FWS-AQB), AirWeb is an extensive site addressing visibility protection, air quality standards, and air pollution issues throughout the National Park System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, and Wilderness areas. Interagency efforts to monitor and protect visibility and air quality are informed by such mandates as the Clean Air Act, the Wilderness Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. AirWeb itself first explores the implications of such laws for visibility protection and air quality standards, then includes reports on the results from and procedures for the NPS-ARD’s visibility and deposition monitoring networks and on the agency’s research concerning the sources and ecological impacts of pollutants and denuded air quality. More general information on air quality is afforded with excerpts from park-by-park Air Quality Public Awareness Programs and is complemented by a glossary of air quality terminology. Remote cameras allow for real-time webcasts of air quality in six National Parks, while further instruction is afforded through comparative photography, maps of visibility monitoring station locations, a slideshow on visual extinction, and an online quarterly publication on visibility protection (IMPROVE). Other AirWeb resources include On the Air (the principle quarterly review of the NPS-ARD), links to agency partner sites, downloadable data on NPS ozone, meteorological, and acidic deposition monitoring, a lesson plan on acid rain (for grade levels 6-8), and Gaia-Guard, a computer-based multimedia role-playing game intended to assist younger students in learning about natural resource management issues on public lands. Lastly, NPS-ARD education videos and slides can be ordered which address both visibility impairment and air pollution.

Title: Discover Our Earth	Keywords: Geology,Physical geography	Description: Discover Our Earth contains a wide range of information related to Earth sciences as described by graphs, maps, and movies. The focal topics are earthquakes, volcanoes, topography, plate tectonics, and sea level change. There are three main areas to access the data: Educators, Students, and Web Tools. The Educators section is designed to provide teachers with basic background information about selected Earth science topics and suggest several student activities and exercises that can be employed in classroom settings. Educators are encouraged to adopt, adapt, and modify exercises to suit their needs or situation. The Students section provides critical background information and primarily prepares students to start using the web tool QUEST (Quick Use Earth Science Study Tool). Using QUEST, students are able to experiment and test their own ideas and hypotheses related to any topics provided in these pages. With the tools and information provided, students are able to actively engage in an earth science knowledge discovery, critically evaluate the data and results, and reach their own conclusions about the earth system processes. Two Java-based, interactive data analyses and mapping tools allow customized access to a large variety of earth science data sets that are used by research scientists. The first Java applet, QUEST, has been designed and developed to be used by beginning and intermediate level earth science students. It has an easy-to-use interface that allows access to key earth science data sets. The second Java applet, GEOID (Geoscience Interactive Data tool), is more appropriate for advanced users, and provides a dynamic mapping interface and can be used to access all of the underlying earth science data sets.

Title: Boulder Creek: A Virtual Field Study	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography	Description: This site presents a field lesson that is designed to enhance classroom education about urban resource management issues. The lesson consists of web materials and a self-guided field study of Boulder Creek, located in Boulder, Colorado. By completing this field lesson, students can learn about the tremendous benefits and dangers posed by an important urban-aquatic resource (Boulder Creek). The field study of Boulder Creek has three objectives: to study human-environment interactions in Boulder, CO, to learn basic techniques of fieldwork in geography, and to understand how natural hazards affect life in Boulder, CO. Although the lesson is built around a field excursion to the Boulder Creek area, the information contained in the preview link could stand on its own as an educational tool. Additionally, the information in the preview section includes questions that students can answer without going into the field. For those who are in the Boulder area and can travel to Boulder Creek, twelve stops have been chosen to supplement the online preview material. A map and questions are available for this field excursion. The web site also provides a forum for students to discuss their opinions on human-environment interactions pertaining to the Boulder Creek area.

Title: The Macrogalleria: A Cyberwonderland of Polymer Fun	Keywords: Chemistry	Description: The Macrogalleria is dedicated to the science of polymers. A polymer is a large molecule, often containing many thousands of small molecules joined together chemically to form one giant macromolecule. The site is divided into five education levels based on the nature of the material. Level one, 'Polymers are Everywhere', illustrates where polymers are found in everyday life. Resource users can visit stores in a fictitious shopping mall. In each store, merchandise is pointed out which is made of polymers. The text identifies the type of polymer and will contain hypertext links to pages on level two which describe those specific polymers in detail. The purpose of this level is to serve as a springboard to other levels of the Macrogalleria for more in-depth discussions of polymer topics. Each page on level two, 'Polymers Up Close and Personal', provides both a brief synopses of a specific polymer, it's uses and the basics of its synthesis, and contains a three-dimensional model of a short chain of the polymer that can be rotated manually. Level three, 'How They Work', outlines the basic concepts of polymer physical chemistry. Level three also contains untraditional categories such as polymer composite materials, families of polymers (e.g. dienes, vinyls, and acrylates), and inorganic polymers. Level four, 'Makin' Polymers', provides detailed information concerning the synthetic chemistry of polymers. Included are pages dealing with reactions which can be used to produce many different polymers, such as free radical vinyl polymerization. Many of the synthesis pages contain links to pages with movies of the reaction mechanisms. Level five, 'Getting Polymers to Talk', deals with polymer characterization. These pages deal with techniques for determining things like molecular weight, polymer structure, and thermal properties. Both instrumental and "wet" chemistry techniques are discussed.

Title: Lands in Transition: Complex Decisions in the Lake Tahoe Basin	Keywords: Forestry,Human geography,Physical geography,Policy issues	Description: Lands in Transition is an exercise that educates users about the history of land use in the Lake Tahoe Basin, the forests that occur there, the role of fire in those forests, and the complex decisions associated with managing lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Combining historic photos, modern field data, interactive maps, and online quizzes, this resource is both substantial and engaging. The case study first asks students to answer several questions about how they think the forest looked at certain time periods in the past, and then it proceeds to explain the correct answers to the questions with extensive visuals. Toward the end of the study the students are introduced to four forest management experts who will guide them in making decisions on how to best manage the forest at Lake Tahoe. Students then get to make their own management decisions, and through verbal and graphic descriptions, get to see how their decisions affected the forest. Topics covered throughout the exercise include logging, forest-fire suppression, species migration, and the complex decisions associated with managing lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Title: Primer on Molecular Genetics: Human Genome Project Information	Keywords: Biology,Technology	Description: A primary goal of the Human Genome Project is to make a series of descriptive diagrams (maps), of each human chromosome at increasingly finer resolutions. Mapping involves dividing the chromosomes into smaller fragments that can be propagated and characterized and then ordered to correspond to their respective locations on the chromosomes. A glossary is provided to aid in understanding the gene and technical mapping and sequencing terminology. Geneticists have already charted the approximate positions of over 2300 genes. A detailed description of the various mapping strategies is given with information on genetic linkage maps and the finer resolution physical maps: chromosomal (cytogenetic), cDNA, cosmid contig (bottom-up), and macrorestriction (top-down). The sequencing of the human genome is described with information on DNA amplification: cloning (in vivo) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR, in vitro), and Maxam-Gilbert and Sanger technologies. There is also discussion about new sequencing technologies under development and a description of how to complete the maps and sequences once having started, ie. single-chromosome microdissection and chromosome walking. A brief introduction is also given on DNA. Another large portion of this site details the technical logistics of data collection and storage, data interpretation, and the mapping and sequencing databases. Useful links are provided to related services, such as the Student Guide to the Human Genome Project, the newsletter 'Human Genome News', and Presentation Resources: Genome Videos, Genome Audio Files, and Genome Images.

Title: Animal Diversity Web	Keywords: Biology,Ecology	Description: The Animal Diversity Web, (ADW), acts as an online encyclopedia, a science learning tool, and a virtual museum of the natural history, distribution, and classification of animals. Animals are categorized into mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, sharks, bony fishes, mollusks, arthropods, and echinoderms. The ADW database is designed to foster comparisons by providing consistent and detailed information for all indexed species. Information is provided on geographic range, physical characteristics, scientific classification, food habits, reproduction, behavior, habitat, and information on conservation concerns such as if the species is endangered or threatened. Students can explore patterns and relationships, and learn how to frame and answer scientific questions. Photographs of scientific specimens are available for representative species from most mammal families. Also included are several hundred QuickTime Virtual Reality movies of skulls. These allow the user to "rotate" the specimen in space, providing an excellent impression of its three-dimensional structure. In depth descriptions and illustrations of mammals are provided for many of the characteristics of interest to students. An essential feature of the ADW is student authorship of species accounts. Students learn considerable detail about the biology of a species, then share their work with users worldwide by submitting it to ADW's permanent database, while a web-based template ensures a consistent format for account. A special section for instructors aids with incorporating ADW into teaching methods. College and high school level sample exercises are provided, along with critical thinking exercises.

Title: Snow Crystals	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physics	Description: This site describes snow crystals and snowflakes. Although a common meteorological phenomenon, snow crystal growth is a fascinating and poorly understood process, in which remarkably complex and beautifully symmetric structures appear, quite literally, out of thin air. The many facets of snow crystals are described here, along with the attempts to understand their formation. Site highlights include research on creating designer snow crystals in the laboratory, the history of early snow crystal observations, snow crystal photography, properties of frozen precipitation, and a snow crystal primer for a short course in snow crystal physics - what snow crystals are, how they form, and why they form the way they do. Information is offered on snow crystal classification, preservation, and unusual crystal forms. An extensive image gallery of lab-created crystal forms is available, with enlargeable thumbnail images. There are even instructions for users on how to create crystals. This could be made into a classroom activity, as the science of the growth is explained. Snowflake Physics discusses diffusion, dendrite growth, ice surface physics, electric growth, and ice properties. A vast list of related links is also provided.

Title: GPA Clearinghouse Mechanism	Keywords: Biological oceanography,Chemical oceanography,Environmental science,Policy issues	Description: The Global Programme of Action (GPA) was established to guide national and regional authorities toward counteracting marine degradation from land-based activities. Key to this effort is the GPA Clearinghouse, an extensive work-in-progress for which this site is the central node. Searches with the clearinghouse mechanism are first qualified by any of four approaches: by Pollutant Source Category, Regional Seas Programme, the Coastline Management Framework, or Economic Sector. Retrieval is then conducted according to text strings, geospatial metadata for GPA and water resource data holdings, or the GPA web links database, the last of which is indexed by site titles and URLs. In addition to the clearinghouse tool, the site provides reference material, links, and a GPA news forum service. The reference pages include background information (About the GPA), a FAQ page, and a Document Library of GPA documentation, meeting reports and information, GPA status reports, and regional overviews. Also provided (from the main page) is information on each Pollutant Source Category: Sewage, Persistent Organic Pollutants, Radioactive Substances, Heavy Metals, Oils-Hydrocarbons, Nutrients and Eutrification, Litter and Waste Management, Sediment Mobilization, and Physical Alterations and Habitat Destruction - as well as the respective GPA objectives and recommendations for governmental protective actions. Link lists include those for GPA partners and participating governments and organizations, Regional Seas Programmes, node sites (by Pollution Source Category or locale), a joint page with the Convention on Biological Diversity, other Related Links, and Kids Links. Finally, the GPA News Forum (including an events calendar and discussion forum) is an interactive vehicle to stimulate discussion and distribute news related to the implementation of the GPA.

Title: A Tapestry of Time and Terrain: The Union of Two Maps - Geology and Topography	Keywords: Geology,Physical geography	Description: Explore the new, interactive, digital map created from merging two United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps that depict the topography and geology of the United States. This composite is the most detailed and accurate portrait of the U.S. land surface and the ages of its underlying rock formations. The new map resembles traditional 3-D perspective drawings of landscapes with the addition of a fourth dimension, geologic time, which is shown in color. By mutually enhancing the landscape and its underlying temporal structure, this digital tapestry outlines the geologic story of continental collision and break-up, mountain building, river erosion and deposition, ice-cap glaciation, volcanism, and other events and processes that have shaped the region over the last 2.6 billion years. Creation information is given for each component map. The geologic map is an adaptation of the 'Geologic Map' of King and Beikman (1974), while the topography half is derived from the 'Digital Shaded-Relief Image', created by Thelin and Pike (1991). Over forty unique features are explained, with links to information about the respective geologic time periods of which they are a part. A legend page displays a clickable geologic time scale, which when a period is selected all features that correspond to the chosen time frame are highlighted and hypertext directs to specific discussions. A page for 'Boundaries' divides the continental U.S. by state borders and physiographic regions. The state borders map allows display of each individual state with the corresponding geologic legend of depicted features, whereas the physiographic regions map lists the broad-scale subdivisions which are based on terrain texture, rock type, and geologic structure and history. An online puzzle allows resource users to test their knowledge of the locations of the small-scale physiographic divisions. Finally, a 'Panorama Movie' of the maps is presented.

Title: Ground Water Atlas of the United States	Keywords: Environmental science,Hydrology	Description: This United States Geological Survey (USGS) series of print publications describes the location, the extent, and the geologic and hydrologic characteristics of the important aquifers in the United States. Following an Atlas Introduction and Summary, each of 13 chapters describes the principle aquifer(s) of a given region, beginning with an overview of climate, hydrogeology, physiography, and water budget statistics. The actual aquifer descriptions that follow are linked to numerous maps and supplementary cross sections, block diagrams, charts, graphs and photographs. The maps depict aquifer location and extent, thickness, potentiometric surface, general water chemistry, flow-system and movement, human usage, and where data are available - changes in aquifer water levels and/or water chemistry over time. Correlation charts list the geologic formations that compose the aquifer, while hydrogeologic sections describe the potential uses and concerns associated with various aquifers based on their formation and chemical history. Hydrographs show fluctuations in aquifer water levels. The block diagrams and cross sections describe positional relationships between aquifers. Photographs are used to show special hydrogeologic conditions or the results of aquifer development. Lastly for each region, special conditions caused by human activities are discussed and followed by an extensive reference list. In addition to the regional chapters, Aquifer Basics (accessed from the Archives page) provides background information on aquifer types (e.g., unconsolidated-deposit, semiconsolidated deposit, sandstone, carbonate-rock, sandstone and carbonate, or volcanic) and provides direct links (by name) to principal aquifers that exemplify each type. Finally, links from this page lead to the National Atlas Aquifers map and related materials, while links from the main page connect to main USGS sites for water resources and ground water information.

Title: National Atlas of the United States	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography,Technology	Description: Developed by the United States Geological Survey and its partners, the National Atlas of the United States is a predominantly digital collection of maps serving to update the 1970 version and providing a reliable summary of national-scale geographic information on the environmental, resource, demographic, economic, social, political, and historical dimensions of American life. The compilation (found under Atlas Maps) includes sections for interactive map browsing, multimedia maps, map layers data, and printed maps. The Interactive Map Browser provides easy-to-use tools to display, manipulate, print, and query National Atlas data using an overlay approach with layers selected from agriculture, biology, boundaries, climate, environment, geology, demography, transportation, water, and general reference categories. The multimedia maps use animation and/or clickable interfaces to explore a number of topics from geologic history to invasive species to vegetation growth. The map layers data warehouse contains a series of authoritative national geospatial and geostatistical datasets for use in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) or computer-aided design systems. Both data types are tied to specific geographic areas and are categorized and indexed using such parameters as county, State, and zip code boundaries or geographic coordinate systems. The printed map section includes reference and thematic maps (for ordering) reprinted from the 1970 version of the Atlas. In addition to the collection, links are provided to federal and business partners, Atlas News with links to relevant federal sites, an Atlas FAQ page, and a feedback page.

Title: Live Access to Reference Data at PMEL	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physical oceanography,Chemical oceanography,Climatology	Description: The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory's (PMEL), Live Access Server enables the visualization and creation of marine climatologic data with on-the-fly graphics. The graphics are selected from custom subsets of variables in a choice of file formats. Some examples of the datasets are the Esbensen-Kushnir Heat Budget Climatology; Levitus (1982) Global Annual Climatology of Dissolved Oxygen, Oxygen Saturation, Salinity, and Temperature; Richardson's Ship-Drift Derived Surface Currents; and Weekly National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), Sea Surface Temperature. Background reference materials about the data, metadata, are accessible by selecting the i symbol next to the dataset titles. Data served by LAS are inherently multi-dimensional. This means that the data are defined on a grid with axes corresponding to X, longitude; Y, latitude; Z, depth or height; and T, time. A unique feature of this server is that it allows the user to decide how the data is sliced up into different views. A list of all possible views is created each time a variable is selected and a particular view can be selected from a dropdown box. There are map selection tools which allow specification of the time and depth in the interface and the range or point on the globe of interest. These selections will define a region to be used in generation of the output plot or data file. Once a region has been defined, it will be preserved as other data is selected which contain the view axes. This makes it easy to generate graphics or data files that allow the comparison of data sets. Links are provided to PMEL's home page, and PMEL's Ferret Data Visualization and Analysis main page.

Title: Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physical oceanography,Chemical oceanography,Climatology	Description: The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) carries out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography and atmospheric science. Current PMEL programs focus on open ocean observations in support of long-term monitoring and prediction of the ocean environment on time scales from hours to decades. Studies are conducted to improve our understanding of the complex physical and geochemical processes operating in the world oceans, to define the forcing functions and the processes driving ocean circulation and the global climate system, and to improve environmental forecasting capabilities and other supporting services for marine commerce and fisheries. Results from PMEL research activities contribute to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) strategic goals of implementing seasonal-to-interannual climate forecasts, assessing and predicting decadal to centennial climate change, advancing short-term warning and forecast services, and building sustainable fisheries. A wealth of information is available about PMEL's Ocean Climate and Environment Research Programs, such as TAO (buoy array), TMAP (equatorial ocean modeling), FOCI (fisheries oceanography), and SEBSCC (ecosystem studies). A specialized search engine allows resource users to query all PMEL literature (published or in the process thereof), and returns a bibliography of selected references. There are many technology links to online databases, data analysis tools, and operations divisions. Access is provided to a collection of Theme Pages. These pages are topic oriented, such as El Niño, and include links to widely distributed information relevant to the topic from a variety of scientific, government, academic or commercial institutions. The information and analyses often include real-time data and forecasts, as well as historical data and perspectives.

Title: Digital Archive of Human-Induced Landscape Change	Keywords: Environmental science,Geology,Human geography	Description: The Digital Archive of Human-Induced Landscape Change is an initiative open to Vermont K-16 schools to document two centuries of landscape change while exploring regional geology, anthropogenic impacts, and various forms of computer technology. The website houses a statewide database of historical/modern image pairs with text describing the historical context. This collection is continually expanding. The database is searchable by location - town, county, and school - and also by geomorphic process responsible for landscape changes - landslide, flood, deforestation, etc. Works in progress include virtual tours of Vermont's cultural and geologic history and tutorials on using the technologies that produce the digital archive. This work with teachers and K-16 students provides interdisciplinary opportunities to explore earth science, environmental science, historical research, geographic studies, creative writing, and the scientific method. Two pilot classrooms participated in the spring of 2000 and supplied data from over 30 locations in 8 Vermont towns. Historical photographs were collected from as early as 1850s and as late as 1998, and interviews, libraries, and historical societies were used by students to determine the ages and locations of the historical photos. Geo-referencing of each site required students to use a Global Positioning System (GPS) and learn the concept of latitude and longitude. Students used a digital camera to record the modern images on disk. Students were introduced to word-processing and image manipulation as they produced paper poster presentations of their findings. Students also provided digital images and text files that were published as an individual page in this web database. Complete project instructions and contact information are available for teachers and students. Links are provided to related sites with topographic maps and aerial photography sources, historical societies, the University of Vermont, and other educational sites.

Title: Geodynamics and Ice Age Modules	Keywords: Chemical oceanography,Climatology,Geology,Geophysics,Human geography,Physical geography,Physical oceanography,Paleontology	Description: This site offers two web-based lab modules; one on ice ages and one on geodynamics. The Ice Age lab explores the most recent major climate shift that occurred at the end of the last glacial interval. It looks at the extent of expanded polar ice caps and evidence of glaciation, including glaciated landscapes, till, glacial erratics, striated rock, drainage patterns, and the oxygen isotopes record. Indicators of past climate are explored though pollen records and the distribution of species of animals. The Geodynamics lab explores the natural planetary-scale Earth processes that cause whole sections of the Earth's surface to shift their position relative to one another in response to the flow of heat from the Earth's interior. It offers an introduction to plate tectonics and the associated effects upon the Earth's surface and life on Earth. The composition and dynamics of Earth' s interior is also addressed through text and visualizations. Many sections in each lab contain questions for students, with links to answers. Navigation is intended to be linear, but pull-down menus allow for dynamic navigation as well. Embedded user-controllable QuickTime visualizations were custom created from scientific datasets.

Title: California's Coastal Resources	Keywords: Biological oceanography,Ecology,Physical geography	Description: This site offers access to pages on the Geography of California Coastal Systems and on California Coastal Ecology. Much of the material is drawn from the California Coastal Commission's California Coastal Resource Guide. The California coast is a region of unsurpassed beauty and natural splendor, blessed with an abundance of rich and varied resources. The coast supports a diversity of plant communities and tens of thousands of species of insects and other invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals, including numerous rare and endangered species. From the lush redwood forests of the north to the wide, sandy beaches of the south, California's expansive coastline contains many distinct habitats. These habitats are the result of many different natural forces. The habitats/environments are: Coastal Mountains, Streams and Rivers, Marine Terraces, Bluffs and Headlands, Coastal Sand Dunes, Beaches, Wetlands, Rocky Intertidal Zones, Islands and Offshore Rocks, and Nearshore Waters and Open Ocean. Users of this site may also access the California Ocean and Coastal Environmental Access Network (Cal OCEAN), a web-based virtual library for the discovery of and access to ocean and coastal data and information from a wide variety of sources and in a range of types and formats. The goal of Cal OCEAN is to provide the information and tools to support ocean and coastal resource management, planning, research, and education via the Internet.

Title: Lab 2: Geodynamics	Keywords: Geology,Geophysics,Paleontology	Description: This web-based interactive laboratory module explores the dynamic nature of Earth's crust and the effects that this has on the planet. The lab is divided into four themes. Theme 1: Dynamic Earth, explores the idea of Earth's crust being composed of several large plates that slowly drift about (plate tectonic theory). Their interactions generate our modern geography and have influenced geologic activity and even the course of life on this planet. Theme 2: Surface Expressions, explores how plate tectonics directly influences the topography of the planet. Interactive 3-D examples are given of the different plate-tectonic scenarios: spreading centers, subduction zones, and transform margins. The relationship of earthquake patterns to plate boundaries are also explored. Theme 3: Earth's Interior, explores the ways in which heat controls mantle dynamics, how seismic waves move through the mantle and may be used to investigate its properties, and how the mantle interacts with the drifting crustal plates above it. Theme 4: Impacts on Life, primarily explores how the motion of the plates has allowed for the expansion as well as the isolation of species, with subsequent effects upon evolutionary diversity. Other topics include the effects of plate configurations on climate, and seafloor spreading rates on sea level. Embedded visualizations of globes, seismic waves, convection, quakes and surface relief, tomography, and plate motions enhance the text. Several sections have questions for students with links to the answers.

Title: Semi-Arid Land-Surface-Atmosphere (SALSA) Program: Cooperative Research in Global Change Processes in Semi-Arid Lands	Keywords: Climatology,Environmental science,Hydrology	Description: The Semi-Arid Land-Surface-Atmosphere (SALSA) Program is a multi-agency, multi-national global-change research effort. SALSA seeks to understand, model and predict the consequences of natural and human-induced change on the basin-wide water balance and ecological complexity of semi-arid basins at event, seasonal, inter-annual and decadal time scales. As of July 2000, SALSA research has been focused on the upper San Pedro River basin in southeastern Arizona, USA, and northeastern Sonora, Mexico. The program utilizes in-situ and remote sensing observations coupled with models to study the processes that control the exchange of heat, water vapor and carbon dioxide between the land and atmosphere (e.g., surface radiative fluxes). It also studies the effects of mountainous topography on hydrological and meteorological processes, investigates the coupling of groundwater, surface water, and vegetation processes (e.g., evapotranspiration) in riparian areas, and derives data from satellites for incorporation into hydrological, meteorological and ecological models of the region. The Research pages contain a series of online abstracts, papers and project descriptions for various studies from 1996 to 1999, as well as plans and proposals for future work. Perhaps of greatest utility are a series of downloadable papers from these years, which were published in a special edition of the Journal of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology (JAFM). The SALSA site also contains contact links for SALSA collaborators, a news section, archives of program documents, press releases, research summaries, abstracts of conference presentations, and a photo record of the Upper San Pedro River.

Title: NASA Earth Observatory: Data and Images (title enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Environmental science,Physical geography,Physical oceanography	Description: The Data and Images section of NASA's Earth Observatory site contains datasets of global satellite imagery and a pair of user-controlled animation mechanisms with which to observe the data. The datasets can be recalled by category (Atmosphere, Oceans, Land, Life on Earth, or Heat and Energy) or indexed under Data and Images within the Data Holdings Chart, which itself also indicates the span of years for which each dataset is available. Datasets depicting change over time include Aerosol Index, Biosphere, Chlorophyll (CZCS), Chlorophyll (SeaWiFS), Cloud Forcing, Cloud Fraction, 1 km2 Fires, 4 km2 Fires, Emitted Heat Radiation, Vegetation, Net Radiation, Ozone, Rainfall, Sea Surface Temperature, Reflected Solar Radiation, Surface Temperature, and UV Exposure, while two additional static datasets exist for Land Cover Classification and [Human] Population. Once a dataset is retrieved, it can be observed individually or in comparison with one other dataset using either the Normal or Global Animation Interface. The Normal Interface - if in the default Strip setting - allows the user to observe dynamic progressions in data between specified time frames at monthly intervals. The alternate Grid setting allows the user to view the data in the same month of every year (by scrolling up and down) and every month for each year (scrolling left and right). The Global Interface depicts the globe in three-dimensional space and allows the user to manually tilt and/or rotate the Earth to observe a dataset in a given month and compare it to one other choice of dataset and month. All animations can be downloaded from the site. A glossary option can be activated where links are provided to definitions for relevant terminology in the datasets on a page-by-page basis. Finally, links are provided to the other parallel sites associated with NASA's Earth Observatory: Features, News, Reference, Missions, and Experiments.

Title: ReefBase: A Global Information System On Coral Reefs	Keywords: Biological oceanography,Ecology,Environmental science,Policy issues	Description: ReefBase provides access to data and information on coral reefs and associated shallow tropical habitats. The site consists of three main sections: Reef Status, a Database, and the Users Area. Reef Status presents a compilation of summary reports pertaining to and indexed by global, regional, and national scales. Common topics in the reports include: reef benthos, reef fish, natural and anthropogenic threats, climate change impacts, marine protected areas, monitoring and management capacity, government policy, laws, and regulations, and author conclusions and recommendations for reef conservation. The Database provides for two sequential levels of searching: after a country or region is chosen, an overview provides general reef related information on that locale. The user can then further his/her search using one of three additional menus: Coral Reef, Protected Area, and Image/Map. The Coral Reef option currently returns basic information on nearly 10,000 reefs; in the future, additional information will address ecology, stresses, exploitation and management. The Protected Area option returns protections information largely compiled by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre. The third search option, Image/Map, returns visuals according to four criteria: Type (e.g., aerial, maps, underwater); Author; Stress (e.g., coastal development, oil pollution, siltation); or Lifeform (e.g., coralline algae, sea urchin, submassive). In addition, GIS data will soon be made available under this option. The final section on the site, the Users Area, provides both contact information and means of contributing to the site's contents.

Title: The Greenland Summit Ice Cores CD-ROM	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Geologic time	Description: Two ice core initiatives, the 1992 European Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) and the 1993 Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2), form the longest (combined) ice core paleo-environmental record (over 100,000 years) ever compiled in the Northern Hemisphere. This site allows users to learn more about the drilling efforts, search and access data and information, graph data, and specify output. Data searches can be refined by author, ice depth, age, or by using such keywords as atmosphere, basal ice, borehole, accumulation rate, cosmogenic isotopes, debris content, ice fabric, ice-equivalent depth, or organic compounds. Actual datasets from GRIP and GISP2 are accompanied by metadata and fall into the following categories: stable isotopes, cosmogenic isotopes, chemistry, dust, electrical conductivity, physical properties and ice core stratigraphy, gas concentrations in air bubbles, timescales, air mass trajectories, and climatological data. Also provided is information on the conventions and issues of determining timescales during ice core sampling. Graphing and refining of the datasets can be accomplished using a special version of PaleoVu Graphics software, a free resource available to download off the site. Lastly, a citation search engine covers the 164 authors included within the Greenland Summit Ice Cores' Bibliography.

Title: Global Atlas of Paleovegetation since the Last Glacial Maximum	Keywords: Biology,Climatology,Geologic time,Physical geography	Description: This set of preliminary, broad-scale vegetation/ecosystem map reconstructions covers several time frames, the Last Glacial Maximum (18,000 14C years ago), the early Holocene (8,000 14C years ago), and the mid Holocene (5,000 14C years ago). For comparison, 'present-potential' maps that may be regarded as approximating the late Holocene vegetation distribution as it would - or might - have been without agricultural modification are included. The reconstructions emphasize radiocarbon-dated evidence - whether palynological, sedimentological or zoological and, while subject to considerable speculation due to sparse data coverage in many areas, they represent perhaps the nearest representation available to a 'consensus picture' as based on published review sources and advice from approximately 100 specialists in all branches of the study of Quaternary environments. The Atlas is divided into six regions, Europe, Eurasia, Africa, Australasia, North America and South America, each of which is accompanied by a detailed key of that region's vegetation types, as well as a description of the subregion's principal sources of paleovegetative evidence. The site also covers the spatial resolution of the sites maps, geographical boundaries in relation to climate transitions, no-analogue vegetation types, and the prevalent uncertainties surrounding various debates in paleovegetation and paleoclimatology.

Title: RIDGE Multibeam Synthesis Project	Keywords: Physical oceanography,Structural geology	Description: The RIDGE Program is a National Science Foundation initiative that promotes interdisciplinary study, scientific communication, and outreach related to all aspects of the globe-encircling, mid-ocean ridge system. The RIDGE Multibeam Synthesis Project site provides free access to downloadable multibeam bathymetric images and datasets of suboceanic ridges and vents. From either a hotlinked world map or a drop-down menu, users can specify the feature of interest - from the Reykjanes Ridge to the Shona Hotspot to the Galapagos Spreading Center - then progressively zoom to finer grid scales. The bathymetric images are depicted at different node spacings (100 m to 1500m) and grids are supported by the appropriate metadata. The images are also accompanied by ping data (including ship tracks) and other related data, which may include coaxial segment perspective images or isochron interpretation maps. Also, for many of the grids the user can specify subsample regions or retrieve contour areas of subregions. Links throughout the site include those to the main RIDGE page, a gallery of coaxial images, information on Served Data Formats, and the Principal Investigators involved with the Project.

Title: Global Seafloor Topography from Satellite Altimetry	Keywords: Geophysics,Physical oceanography,Structural geology	Description: Highlighted on this National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) site is a new bathymetric map of the global seafloor derived from satellite altimetry. Although commonly described as a detailed map of the ocean floor, it is actually a preliminary map of global seafloor gravity anomalies. Its development combined ship depth soundings with satellite measurements of variations in sea surface height caused by the surface gravity fields of submarine geological features. The site affords various regional images derived from this technique as well as a global interactive map of seafloor and land relief. Also available are a few maps of land topography, including an interactive map of the earth's surface, which is composed of enlargable two-minute color relief images. Lastly, reports, articles, and links are provided on global sea floor topography as measured by satellite altimetry and ship depth soundings, bathymetric prediction and modeling, and marine gravity anomalies.

Title: The Geographer's Craft	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography,Technology	Description: The Geographer's Craft is designed as a two-semester course that experiments with active-learning, problem-solving methods of instruction using Internet-based course materials. The goal is to promote analytical reasoning and critical thinking by having students address research problems with appropriate geographical concepts and techniques, whether drawn from cartography, geographic information systems, remote sensing, spatial statistics, or other information technologies. Rather than teaching these methods as separate and independent techniques, The Geographer's Craft is designed to show how geographers employ these techniques together to address real-world research issues. The Geographer's Craft web site is organized around three main sections: (1) General Information; (2) Lecture Notes, Laboratory Exercises, and On-Line Discussion; and (3) Internet Resources and Helpful Information. General Information is where the user can find materials such as the course syllabus, semester schedules, and grade sheets. The second section contains pages with sample examination and study questions, class notes pertaining to aerial photography, remote sensing, geographic information systems, cartographic communication, coordinate systems, global positioning systems, and map projections, and also laboratory exercises which incorporate the Geographer's Craft project goals. The third section provides a guided component to internet resources for geographers such as journals, map sources, and job information.

Title: Plate Stratigraphy Assessment Question	Keywords: Geology	Description: This is a student task, which could be used as an exam question, a homework question, or as an in-class activity. The student is given a stratigraphic column for an idealized Deep Sea Drilling Project site. The invented stratigraphy is such that the site records the passage from crust formation at a mid-ocean ridge (pillow basalts) overlain by metallic sulfides, followed by subsidence through the calcite compensation depth (foram ooze overlain by marine clays), and into the region of a trench (clastics interspersed with ash layers). The student's task is to "Develop a hypothesis that could account for the observed sequence of rock and sediment types" and then "design an experiment (for example, additional sampling, additional tests or measurements on one of the units in the drilled section) to test one aspect of your hypothesis." Extensive documentation for the teacher is provided, including a list of prerequisite knowledge, suggestions about how that prerequisite knowledge could be acquired, and a suggested scoring rubric if the task is used as an assessment.

Title: Alexandria Digital Library Gazetteer Server	Keywords: Human geography,Physical geography	Description: This tool allows users to view maps of geographic areas or locations by specifying place names and geological or socioeconomic feature types. The Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) Gazetteer combines the U.S. place names from the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) database, the non-U.S. place names from the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's GEOnet Names Server (GNS) database, and other gazetteer datasets. A gazetteer associates geographic names (place names and feature names) with geographic locations and other descriptive information. A gazetteer can be used to find the geographic location of a named place, and conversely can be used to find all named places within a geographic area. These searches can be restricted to particular types of features, for example, to "hydrographic features," or more specifically, to just "lakes." The ADL Gazetteer item metadata is based on the ADL Gazetteer Content Standard; the feature types are based on the ADL Feature Type Thesaurus. Coverage is worldwide.

Title: Expansive Soils: Claystones and Shales	Keywords: Geology,Natural hazards,Physical geography,Soil science	Description: This tutorial explores some interesting dimensions of expansive soils, widely considered to be foundation engineers' nightmare, a builders' headache, and a homeowners' curse. Two decades ago the prevailing philosophy was to attack these natural geological "nuisances" with bulldozers, chemicals, and concrete. Here that philosophy is reconsidered suggesting that with a better identification and preventive design techniques we might learn to live with expansive claystones in reasonable harmony, and save a lot of money and litigation in the process. This resource provides information on geologic origins, and consequences such as swell, creep. settlement and landslides. The classification of expansive soils is offered along with suggested lab tests. A case history of an urban development in Menlo Park, California is summarized and preventive design concepts are briefly outlined. A literature review is provided for further study.

Title: Lab Instructions: The Earth's Radiation Budget	Keywords: Climatology	Description: These laboratory exercises from an introductory course on the Climate System are designed to help students become comfortable with physical experiments, to use experiments to increase their understanding of physical concepts, and to familiarize them with actual datasets used in climate research. Two physical experiments are performed with a light source and solar cells to attempt a crude replication of the Earth-Sun shortwave radiation system. Students are asked to explore why temperature varies with latitude and season, and how different properties of the earth's surface affect the incoming and outgoing radiation. Students use an Excel spreadsheet to plot current intensity with latitude. The data sets come from The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) and were collected using the satellites: ERBS, NOAA-9, and NOAA-10. The data are organized by satellite, and by variable. Data types are clear-sky, cloud-forcing(the difference between clear-sky and cloudy-sky radiation), and total. Variables are albedo, longwave radiation, shortwave radiation, and net radiation.

Title: State of the Reefs: Regional and Global Perspectives	Keywords: Biological oceanography,Environmental science,Policy issues	Description: This is the online version of the International Coral Reef Initiative Executive Secretariat Background Paper, published in May 1995. In response to the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the status and trends of coral reef ecosystems on large scales, the report takes a holistic look at general patterns in the status and trends of coral reefs today (as well as mangrove forests and seagrass beds). For each of five global regions and the world collectively, the reports assess the conditions of these ecosystems, the human consequences of reef degradation, selected management and research programs, and preliminary recommendations for regional action. Accompanying the texts are regional reef maps produced from an ongoing global coral reef mapping project, as well as maps depicting the distribution of acanthaster (crown-of-thorns starfish) outbreaks, coral bleaching, sedimentation damage, pollution damage, blast fishing, and marine protected areas.

Title: Flood of Evidence	Keywords: Human geography,Natural hazards	Description: This article is a Why Files report on the increase in "natural" disasters from floods, probably the most destructive type of natural disaster. The article notes that in constant dollars, the cost in 1998 alone exceeded the economic toll of the entire decade of the 1980s. Evidence is cited that inundations reflect human action rather than simply rainfall amounts. The report covers: furious floods (including possible human-induced causes), too many floods (recent flood events), do fewer trees create more floods?, wetlands and floods, and flood prevention: the engineering structure or earthmover approach. Six scientists and researchers were interviewed for this report.

Title: No Snows on Kilimanjaro	Keywords: Climatology,Cryology	Description: This article is a Why Files short piece on the melting of tropical glaciers. Geologist Lonnie Thompson has reported that ice in tropical regions is melting fast, and glaciers are retreating at an accelerating rate. In 2000, Thompson found that the icecap on Kilimanjaro in East Africa had lost 82 percent of its area in 88 years. Researchers found similar results for glaciers in the Andes Mountains of Peru, and on the Tibetan Plateau. Global warming is explored as a possible cause for the melting.

Title: Global Warming	Keywords: Climatology,Natural hazards	Description: This Why Files article explores the debate on global warming. Topics discussed are: is global warming good or bad, the greenhouse effect, how stable have past climates been, and what are effects of deforestation. Global warming is thought to cause rising sea levels, droughts, and fires that disturb agriculture, economies, and ecosystems alike. In the late 1990's the Earth experienced 18 months of record temperatures. Some think the ongoing heat wave is the long-sought "signal" of global warming. However, a few don't find evidence that the Earth is warming. Four scientists were interviewed for this article.

Title: Demographic Data Viewer (DDViewer)	Keywords: Human geography,Policy issues	Description: The Demographic Data Viewer (DDViewer) is an easy-to-use World Wide Web accessible application that provides rapid data mapping, viewing, and analysis of more than 200 U. S. Census-derived socioeconomic variables for geographical levels ranging from states to census blocks. This application is useful for browsing and visualizing population patterns. Two Java-based and one non-Java-based version, each offering slightly different features, are available. Once the data of interest have been identified, users can then access the specific data files directly through the Archive of Census-Related Products. The core data processed by DDViewer is a collection of more than 200 variables from the 1990 U.S. Census Summary Tape File (STF) 3A. These data cover various subjects including: general population; persons by race and age; households by size, type, and income; families by number of workers; other income measures; level of education; unemployment; occupation; housing units, age, and value. The distribution of values for these variables can be displayed for various census geographic units including: U.S. states, counties, county subdivisions, census tracts, and block-groups. DDViewer is one of several products included in the Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center's (SEDAC) Population, Land Use and Emissions Data Project. This project represents a unique effort to link geo-referenced demographic and other socioeconomic information with remote sensing data related to land cover and use. Data on population dynamics and distribution have been identified as key elements in understanding human interactions with the environment and in considering possible responses to global environmental change.

Title: Polar Energy: Amblin' to Alaska	Keywords: Geologic time,Geology	Description: This short Why Files article describes how a newer technique, used with radiocarbon dating of sediments from the Bering Strait, allowed scientists to confirm that a land bridge between present-day Alaska and Northeast Asia (Russia) was a probable route taken by human settlers who reached the Americas 12,000 years ago. The previous date was too old by several thousand years, indicating the land bridge was not available when the crossing occurred. That date was based on larger contaminated samples of sediment. Scott Elias and colleagues from the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research conducted the study.

Title: Polar Energy: Floating Frozen Data Factory	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Cryology,Physical oceanography	Description: This Why Files article describes a project, which in October 1997, froze a working ship into the Arctic ice pack, and then left it for a year a few hundred kilometers from the North Pole. SHEBA, or the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean, is the National Science Foundation's largest-ever Arctic science program. Mission objectives included measuring sea-ice reflectance changes, and the role of clouds in reflecting heat back to the Earth. A report update in October 1998 quotes Dr. Richard Moritz, director of the SHEBA project office: "We've observed the ice, the atmosphere, and the ocean over a full annual cycle covering the physical variables in all three systems." It's expected that data acquired will be used in more accurate computer models for predicting climate.

Title: Polar Energy: Where Did Arctic People Get Metal?	Keywords: Geochemistry,Human geography	Description: This Why Files article investigates trading, sources, and use of metal by Arctic peoples. Until recently, metal was seldom found at Arctic archeological digs. In 1994, a group of scientists found many iron and copper objects by simply using a metal detector. By analyzing isotopes, scientists were able to show that both iron and copper came from few sources that were traded widely. Starting around 1,000 AD, iron that came from a meteorite found in Cape York, Greenland was used in preference to flaking stone. Much of the copper came from the Coronation Gulf-Coppermine River area along Canada's central Arctic coast. Other metals may have been traded across the Bering Strait. Archeologist Allen McCartney was interviewed for this article.

Title: The Air That We Breathe	Keywords: Environmental science,Policy issues,	Description: The Why Files examines the latest research and the debate on air pollution and health. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed regulations under the Clean Air Act for ground-level ozone and fine particulates, pollutants which have been linked to lung disease and early deaths. Some researchers are convinced that fine particles are causing the disease and deaths; others don't believe costly regulations are warranted yet. How epidemiologists work, some major studies involved, and how scientists detect air pollution and its effects are discussed. Five university scientists and a government relations representative from the American Lung Association were interviewed for this story.

Title: Recycling at Yellowstone National Park	Keywords: Geochemistry,Geologic time,Mineralogy or petrology,Natural hazards	Description: This Why Files short article discusses some new research on Yellowstone Caldera, a giant volcanic hotspot in Wyoming. Rock has been remelted inside the caldera. Using highly sensitive techniques to extract data from almost microscopic zircon crystals, two geologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that over the past 2 million years, the giant Yellowstone volcano erupted at 700,000-year intervals. Oxygen isotopes, which indicate exposure to near-surface water, were used with age information to determine the interval. A map shows that ash was deposited over much of the western United States during the latest eruption, 600,000 years ago. One researcher said that the finding may alter our view of how much magma and heat are leaving the depths of the Earth.

Title: It Came from Underground	Keywords: Ecology,Forestry	Description: This short Why Files article discusses the effects of the earthworm on the ecology of some northern deciduous forests. In these ecosystems, glaciers extirpated all worms over 10,000 years ago. The forest ecologist interviewed for this article indicated that in northern Minnesota, the worms probably came from fishing bait that was dumped in the woods over several decades. The earthworms rapidly munch decomposing organic matter, or duff, on the forest floor and thus deprive native plants and tree seedlings of a place to germinate and grow. The result is a bare forest floor, lacking most spring flowers and tree seedlings. Vegetation may return, but in some areas the plants that have returned are invasive species, which are causing widespread ecological destruction. At this point, the phenomenon has been seen in many parts of the eastern deciduous forest, which stretches from New England to Minnesota.

Title: LEARN: Atmospheric Science Explorers	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology	Description: LEARN was created to increase middle school science teacher knowledge of and interest in the atmospheric sciences. The original project began in 1991 with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Much of the instructional and science content foundation for the LEARN workshops came from the teaching modules developed by LEARN teachers in collaboration with more than 60 National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) scientists. The three hardcopy modules included background information, hands-on activities using simple materials, and authentic assessment tools. The modules–Ozone in Our Atmosphere, Atmospheric Dynamics, and Cycles of the Earth and Atmosphere–were not designed to replace existing curricula or textbooks. Rather, they were intended to enhance earth and physical science programs by incorporating atmospheric science concepts. These modules were created by teachers for teachers. Thus far, one of these modules, Cycles of the Earth and Atmosphere, is available in a web-based format . The seven sections include introductions to the atmosphere, climate, ozone, stratospheric ozone and tropospheric ozone, the "greenhouse effect" and global climate change. Each section provides background information, general learning concepts, and a list of classroom activities.

Title: National Geologic Map Database	Keywords: Geochemistry,Geologic time,Geology,Geophysics,Natural hazards,Paleontology	Description: The National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) is an Internet-based system for query and retrieval of earth-science map information, created as a collaborative effort between the USGS and the Association of American State Geologists. Its functions include providing a catalog of available map information; a data repository; and a source for general information on the nature and intended uses of the various types of earth-science information. The map catalog is a comprehensive, searchable catalog of all geoscience maps of the United States, in paper or digital format. It includes maps published in geological survey formal series and open-file series, maps in books, theses and dissertations, maps published by park associations, scientific societies, and other agencies, as well as publications that do not contain a map but instead provide a geological description of an area (for example, a state park). The geologic-names lexicon (GEOLEX) is a search tool for lithologic and geochronologic unit names. It now contains roughly 90% of the geologic names found in the most recent listing of USGS-approved geologic names. Current mapping activities at 1:24,000- and 1:100,000-scale are listed in the Geologic Mapping in Progress Database. Information on how to find topographic maps and list of geology-related links is also available.

Title: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Natural hazards	Description: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is a joint mission between NASA and the National Space Development Agency (NSDA) of Japan. It is designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated release of energy that helps to power the global water cycle. The satellite can greatly enhance our understanding of the interactions which produce changes in global rainfall and climate. A detailed overview of TRMM covers why we need TRMM, which is broken into grade-specific explanations; questions and answers about TRMM; TRMM instruments; climate-related facts; the Mission to Planet Earth "Education" Homepage; and case studies comparing land and ocean storms. Images showing current conditions, as well as archived images, movies, and animations are provided on hurricanes, global datasets covering lightning, temperature, and rainfall, monthly mean rainrates from 1998 through 2000, monthly rainfall anomalies, data types and idealized data simulations. Also archived are press releases, refereed journals, and scientific documents related to TRMM data information. An Educational Resources section provides teacher's guides, animations and activities on topics such as latent heat of evaporation and the water cycle, hurricanes as heat engines, air pressure systems in the context of El Nino/La Nina, lightning formation and the role of ice in a thunderstorm, and remote sensing of precipitation. The ground-based validation efforts of the TRMM are outlined in detail. Related organizations, data sources, field experiments, and TRMM research are linked from this site.

Title: The Southern California Integrated GPS Network Education Module	Keywords: Geology,Geophysics,Natural hazards,Technology	Description: This educational module was designed to allow students to interactively explore the use of SCIGN (Southern California Integrated GPS Network) and its data in earthquake studies. It is divided into four major sections: Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, GPS (Global Positioning System), and Space Technology at Work. All of the sections include background material and activities; the first three sections focus primarily on introducing satellite technology and tectonic phenomena, and the final section serves to integrate knowledge learned in the first three by allowing students to use real SCIGN data in their investigations into plate tectonics, earthquakes, and GPS. Primary concepts include: Forces in the Earth cause its surface to change over time, earthquakes release stress causing permanent change in the Earth's crust, GPS is a satellite technology used as a tool to measure crustal change, and SCIGN is a network of GPS stations used to study tectonics and earthquakes in Southern California. The activities include: How many earthquakes does it take to build a mountain?, Are GPS measurements accurate or precise? What is a rate? How far away are satellites? How fast is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's station moving? How long will it take for Los Angeles and San Francisco to meet?

Title: El Nino vs. La Nina	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Physical oceanography	Description: This site offers images and animations showing global sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) during El Nino of 1997-1998 and La Nina of 1998-1999. Images show the difference between the normal SST for that time of year and the actual temperature, clearly showing the higher and lower Pacific temperatures associated with the El Niño and La Niña events of 1997-1999 respectively. Thus the annual cycle and climatology have been removed from the data. Animations use Pathfinder and TOPEX/Poseidon data sets. This site is part of NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center.

Title: Forest Fires	Keywords: Ecology,Forestry,Natural hazards,Policy issues	Description: The objectives of this lesson plan are twofold: to have students understand the benefits and problems associated with fire and to understand the role that fire plays in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Emphasis throughout the lesson plan is placed on manager-ignited prescribed burns and natural fires, and their relevance and importance to various types of fire-adapted ecosystems such as chaparral, prairie grasslands, and lodgepole pine forests. The lesson entails initiating a discussion about the positive and negative powers of fire, introducing terms such as surface fire, crown fire, and fire triangle, and having the students produce a public service announcement, brochure, or television spot on both accidental forest fires and the benefits of prescribed burns. The web site includes a list of suggested materials, procedures, adaptations, discussion questions, extension projects, an evaluation of student learning, suggested readings, relevant web links, a vocabulary list, and relevance to the academic standards set forth by Content Knowledge: A Compendium of Standards and Benchmarks for K-12 Education: Second Edition.

Title: WSU-TFREC Orchard Calculator: Estimating Water Use by Plants	Keywords: Agricultural science,Atmospheric science	Description: The Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center provides a calculator for estimating water use by plants or pET (potential evapotranspiration). Water use varies widely from plant to plant, so estimates are usually first derived for a single situation, such as grass, and then adapted for other plants. The calculator uses the Penman method to estimate daily pET in inches of water. It requires average daily values of four measurements: sunlight, wind, temperature, and humidity.

Title: Fire Effects Information System	Keywords: Biology,Ecology	Description: The Fire Effects Information System (FEIS) provides up-to-date information about fire effects on plants and animals. It was developed at the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station's Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, Montana. The FEIS database contains synoptic descriptions, taken from current English-language literature of almost 900 plant species, about 100 animal species, and 16 Kuchler plant communities found on the North American continent. The emphasis of each synopsis is fire and how it affects each species. Background information on taxonomy, distribution, basic biology and ecology of each species is also included. Synopses are thoroughly documented, and each contains a complete bibliography. Personnel from several land management agencies (USDA Forest Service, USDI-BIA, NPS, BLM, F&WS) identified the species to be included in the database. Those agencies funded the original work and continue to support maintenance and updating of the database.

Title: EarthShots: Satellite Images of Environmental Change	Keywords: Environmental science,Human geography,Physical geography,Technology	Description: EarthShots is an e-book of images (1972-present), showing recent environmental events through remotely sensed images while concurrently introducing remote sensing techniques. Place-specific case studies offer before-and-after satellite imagery as well as descriptive text. Topic categories include articles on agriculture, cities, deserts, disasters, forests, geology, water, and wildlife. Examples of case studies include agriculture along the Nile River Delta, urban development as it impacts the hydrology of the Imperial Valley in California, desertification in Southern Mauritania, the disastrous effects of the Mount St. Helens eruption in Washington, and glacial activity in Hubbard Glacier, Alaska. A world map allows users to access these instances of environmental change by geographic area. Information on remote sensing technology and an overview of the site is provided by a Garden City, Kansas case study. Each set of images and text are accompanied by a political/topographic map of the area, detailed information pertaining to the source of the satellite images and maps, and relevant references.

Title: The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Biology,Climatology,Cryology,Ecology,Environmental science,Geology,Hydrology	Description: The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation) brings together data and information providers from government agencies, universities, non-profit organizations, and businesses in an effort to make Earth science information available to a broader community. The objective of the Federation is to develop methods that make space-based imagery and related Earth science data easy to preserve, locate, access and use for all beneficial applications. Space-based imagery and Earth science data are powerful tools for: teachers who use data, information, and tools to enhance education; professors who are educating our future scientists; students who have an interest in the earth, earth processes, or science; scientists who can better understand basic biological, geophysical, and chemical cycles of the Earth's system; civil servants who need to assess and plan for sustainable resources; the public whose lives are affected daily by environmental change; environmental decision makers; and business people who create value in the imagery and support further missions. The goal of the ESIP Federation is to establish and continuously improve science-based end-to-end processes that increase the quality and value of Earth science products and services. As part of that process the ESIP Federation has developed and continues to develop Earth science data products, information, and tools tailored for the educational community at all age levels and in formal and informal educational contexts.

Title: Rock Hounds with Rocky	Keywords: Geology,Mineralogy or petrology,Soil science	Description: Rock Hounds is a group of activities, puzzles, literature sources, and quizzes that may enhance any K-12 geology unit. Rocky, the Rock Hound, leads learners through an adventure and gain an understanding of the rock cycle including how sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks form. A lesson plan included in the Teaching Connections section compiles these resources into a progression that could be used as a mini geology unit for learners K-8. The lesson plan begins by suggesting an introductory activity, entitled Rock Swap, where learners collect rocks, then swap the rocks with other classes or learners world wide. Guidelines for the collaborative rock swapping are provided within Teaching Connections. Other activities include a slide show that describes the tools that geologists use and how to collect rocks safely, an online safety quiz, making a volcano, creating a rock collection, and specific activities that place emphasis on how the 3 rock types form.

Title: Science Projects for ALL Students	Keywords: Educational theory and practice,Mathematics,Physics	Description: Science is for ALL students. Whether students have learning problems or physical challenges, they should be able to experience hands-on science with their fellow classmates. Thissite offers access to selected science projects that have been modified so that all students, regardless of disability, could perform them in the same way. The modifications are seamless so that students would not realize adaptations had been made. The experiments are not new or novel, but rather familiar activities modified for a wider audience. Four activities available at this site look at how friction is used to slow down an object, how momentum affects objects, density as it affects a submarines position in the water, and how scientists design experiments, introducing the concept of variables. Safety guidelines are also highlighted. A wider range of activities in Earth, life and physical sciences, as well as general skills, are compiled in a text entitled Science Projects for ALL Students which can be purchased from Facts on File.

Title: Minerals 4 Kids	Keywords: Geology,Mineralogy or petrology	Description: Minerals 4 Kids contains four Web-based activities offered for K-12 Education by the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA). These activities are entitled: Minerals in Your House, Mineral Groups, Mineral Properties, and All About Crystals. Also included are links to Mineral Games, the Rock Cycle diagram that leads to descriptions of the three rock types, and Ask-A-Mineralogist that enables the user to submit a mineralogical question. Many of these activities are linked to other mineralogy-related Web sites. Minerals in Your House is designed to introduce the concept of how minerals are present in common household items found in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Mineral Groups introduces mineral classification according to chemical composition. The learner can explore each of the seven major chemical groups and several minor chemical groups. Mineral Properties introduces learners to the physical properties of minerals such as hardness, cleavage, streak, color, luster, specific gravity, as well as other miscellaneous properties (i.e., magnetic, effervescence, striations, etc.). Mineral Properties, additionally, contains a five-step Mineral Identification process that uses the physical properties to narrow down a mineral's identity that, ultimately, leads to a Mineral Identification Chart. All About Crystals enables the learner to become familiar with symmetry, crystal symmetry, crystal chemistry, and crystal forms. This activity includes online 3-D models, an activity that enables the user to draw and explore symmetry patterns, a variety of detailed descriptions with figures, and an extensive vocabulary

Title: The Great Ice Age	Keywords: Cryology,Geology	Description: The Great Ice Age, a recent chapter in the Earth's history, was a period of recurring widespread glaciations. Mountain glaciers formed on all continents, the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland were more extensive and thicker than today, and vast glaciers, in places as much as several thousand feet thick, spread across North America and Eurasia. This ice age, the most recent in the history of the Earth, took place from 20 million years to 6 thousand years ago (Quaternary Period). The development of our understanding and the evidence for this worldwide event are covered in this United States Geological Survey (USGS) publication.

Title: AMSU-A Real-Time Images	Keywords: Atmospheric science	Description: This webpage provided by the Passive Microwave Earth Science Information Partner (PM-ESIP) project gives access to images from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A).The satellite-mounted AMSU-A is a multi-channel microwave radiometer that is used to derive global atmospheric temperature profiles and to provide information on atmospheric water vapor and clouds. Images are updated every two hours for each of 18 AMSU-A channels. Each image is based on the orbit files collected in the most recent 24 hour period. The land, ocean, and atmosphere all have different emitting properties at different microwave frequencies used in the channels. The amount of radiation measured by each AMSU channel is converted to a "brightness temperature" based on its real temperature multiplied by the substance's ability to emit radiation (its "emissivity").

Title: Plane Math	Keywords: Mathematics	Description: The stated mission of this project is "To stimulate and motivate students with physical disabilities in grades 4-7 to pursue aeronautics-related careers via the development and delivery of accessible math education materials on the Internet." The genesis of this project is based around two issues. The first issue came from an awareness that, around the 4th grade, current mathematics curricula are highly reliant on students' ability to use manipulables, such as paper and pencil, calculators, or three-dimensional geometric models. Children with disabilities that affect their ability to manipulate objects (cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, specific hand/arm conditions, etc.), and who therefore find it difficult or impossible to use such manipulables, are clearly at an academic disadvantage. The second issue arose from the realization that physically disabled children may not consider or be prepared for career possibilities in aeronautics or the importance of mathematics in pursuing these careers. The Internet, with its multimedia and communication capabilities, holds great potential for allowing these issues to be addressed. This site offers many activities for students, most of which involve planes or flying, as the resource was developed in cooperation with NASA. These activities would be suitable for any students, not just those with disabilities. Information for teachers includes how the student activities align with current national math standards.

Title: Yellowstone Fires	Keywords: Ecology,Environmental science,Forestry,Policy issues	Description: Yellowstone Fires belongs to a series of online modules entitled Exploring the Environment. Emphasizing an integrated approach to environmental earth science through problem-based learning, the module asks students to assume the role of environmental biologist, and help several government agencies resolve the debate surrounding “let it burn” policies in national parks. The government agencies would like to know whether or not to allow naturally occurring fires in Yellowstone National Park to burn to their natural conclusion. The agencies are particularly interested in student recommendations based on an Earth System Science (ESS) analysis of a fire's impact on the air, land, water, and living things. To accomplish this goal, students are given five links to find information pertaining to wildland fire. The ‘Wildland Fires in Yellowstone’ link provides students with a historical overview of past fires in the Park, provides specific information on the 1988 fires, and details fuel and fire management policies within the Park. The ‘Fire Science’ link provides information on combustion, ignition, and fuel, and introduces the concept of the fire triangle. The ‘Yellowstone National Park’ link provides a description of the Park’s geology and physical geography. The ‘Remote Sensing’ link provides a general description of remote sensing and a remotely-sensed animation of landscape change in the Park dating from September 1987 to October of 1988. Lastly, the ‘Wildland Fires’ link explains the causes and effects of wildland fires. Many of the pages within the site provide hyperlinked background resources to investigate wildland fire issues in more detail. A glossary, references, related links, and a general description of the problem-based learning model compliment the site.

Title: Earth on Fire	Keywords: Climatology,Environmental science,Natural hazards	Description: Earth on Fire belongs to a series of online modules entitled Exploring the Environment. Emphasizing an integrated approach to environmental earth science through problem-based learning, this module asks students to examine global warming through supplying evidence for its existence, identifying its sources, and providing ways to minimize its impact. To accomplish this goal, the site provides five links that lead students to information concerning global warming. These links include information pertaining to the carbon cycle, possible culprits of warming such as greenhouse gasses, solar output, the Earth’s orbit, solutions to global warming, connections between global warming and natural disasters, and remote sensing. Various activities for students include a remote sensing analysis of burning biomass during the 1988 Yellowstone fires. Hyperlinked background resources are available throughout the site and offer more detail for student investigations. A glossary, teacher resources, related links, and a general description of the problem-based learning model compliment the site.

On this site, after a brief explanation and history about ecoregion designations within the USFS, the user is presented with three ecoregion maps. Each of the maps represents different scales of analysis used in ecoregional planning. The ecosystem domain map, the broadest of all the maps, provides information on four defined domains in the United States: polar, humid temperate, dry, and humid tropical. Domains are subdivided into more detailed classifications that are displayed in the remaining two maps. The second map shows each of Bailey’s nineteen ecosystem divisions, while the ecosystem province map shows the thirty-four smallest categories used by Bailey. Each domain, division, and province is hyperlinked to a general geographic description. Three appendices are provided throughout the site: regional climates based on the Koppen system of classification, climate diagrams of representative climate stations, and approximate area and proportionate extent of ecoregions at the province level in the United States. A list of references is also provided.

Title: National Hierarchical Framework of Ecological Units	Keywords: Ecology,Forestry,Physical geography	Description: This website provides, in full, a chapter excerpted from the book entitled ‘Ecosystem Management: Applications for Sustainable Forest and Wildlife Resources” edited by M.S. Boyce and A. Haney, 1997. The hierarchical framework is a regionalization classification and mapping system for stratifying the Earth into progressively smaller areas of increasingly uniform ecological potentials. Ecological types are classified and ecological units are mapped based on associations of those biotic and environmental factors. Ecoregion and subregion levels of the hierarchy are developed by stratification as fine scale field classifications and inventories. The chapter stresses the connections between mapping ecological units and ecosystem management opportunities. A list of cited references appears at the end of the chapter.

Title: Ecological Subregions of California	Keywords: Ecology,Physical geography	Description: This United States Forest Service website depicts and describes the ecological subregions of California as defined by the National Hierarchical Framework of Ecological Units. The National Hierarchical Framework provides a scientific basis for regionalization of ecosystems into successively smaller, more homogeneous units. At the Section level, these units allow managers, planners, and scientists in the Forest Service to study management problems on a multiforest and statewide basis; organize data collected during broad-scale resource inventories; and interpret these data among regions. Sections, the highest hierarchical level in the subregion scale, are the basis for chapters in this text. Each section is described by the predominant environmental and biological features used in its delineation, along with other pertinent or characteristic factors. Information covered in section descriptions includes geomorphology, lithology, soil taxa, vegetation, fauna, disturbance regimes, land use, and cultural ecology. Maps are prevalent throughout the site, including a hyperlinked section map and numerous hyperlinked subsection maps. Appendices include a glossary, bibliography, and a chart of subsection acreages.

Title: The Glacial History of Mount Shasta	Keywords: Geology	Description: Here is an overview of the material covering the glacial history of Mount Shasta. Major topics include the mountain’s location, its geologic history, Pleistocene and Holocene glaciation, existing glaciers, and Konwakiton Glacier Jokulhlaups. Surprisingly few academic papers have been published regarding the glaciation of Mount Shasta. The scarcity of publications concerning this topic can be attributed to Holocene volcanic deposits covering much of the Pleistocene and early Holocene glacial deposits, but also to the fact that Mount Shasta is not located near a major university. Most of the information presented within this website is gleaned from local papers and materials available in the Mount Shasta Collection of the College of the Siskiyous library.

Title: Mount Shasta Companion	Keywords: Ecology,Geology,Human geography,Natural hazards,Physical geography	Description: The Companion is a collection of information regarding northern California’s Mount Shasta. The overall objective of this project is to develop a resource that can be used to provide information about Mount Shasta while enhancing the study of the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and the environment. To that end, the Companion offers several topics to choose from: geology, environment, Native Americans, Folklore, History, Art and Artists 1841-1941, Literature, Outdoor Recreation, Maps and Graphics, and the Mount Shasta Collection. The site offers comprehensive in-depth detail on each of these topics. Of special note is the Mount Shasta Collection, the largest repository of information and documents about Mount Shasta, located at the College of Siskiyous library. The collection consists of thousands of books, articles, manuscripts, photographs, maps, prints, and audiovisual materials, some of which are highlighted and searchable on this website. The Companion also highlights a ‘Lesson Plan’ option where teachers can submit lesson plans regarding the Mount Shasta area. In general, the Companion is well illustrated, thus users can study photographs and other various images while reading the accompanying text.

Title: The Beholding Eye	Keywords: Environmental science,Human geography	Description: Ten people can be standing at the top of a hill overlooking a valley, and each can see the landscape before them from a different perspective. To illustrate this statement, The Beholding Eye is formatted as a slide show that presents the variety of ways people commonly observe what they see before them. Ten different ways of looking at landscapes are presented: landscape as nature, habitat, artifact, system, problem, wealth, ideology, history, place, and aesthetic. Each perspective is accompanied by an illustrative photograph and explanatory text.

Title: Black Butte, California	Keywords: Geology,Physical geography,Technology	Description: The purpose of this web presentation is to introduce Black Butte, Siskiyou County, California through maps, diagrams, and images taken from different perspectives, including photographs, air photos and images from space. Black Butte is a plug dome to the southwest of Mount Shasta in the California Cascades. It was formed 9,500 years ago at the same time as Shastina, a secondary peak of Mount Shasta. While dwarfed by the Cascades to the east and the Klamaths to the west, Black Butte nevertheless forms a prominent feature of the landscape. In addition to the visual emphasis of this website, the geological history of Black Butte is also covered.

Title: Walking With Beasts	Keywords: Geologic time,Paleontology	Description: Part of the British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) education series, this website looks at evolution from the extinction of the dinosaurs to the present. The Changing World section includes a timeline from 65 million years ago to today (Paleocene to Holocene), and looks at the changes Earth’s life and surface have undergone during that time. Fact Files contains a chart of animals that lived during different times and gives a description of each, including size, habits, closest living relative, and details. Fossil Fun provides games about paleontology covering topics such as skeletons, footprints, preservation, and fossils. A family tree relates all of the beasts to common ancestors. A section entitled “What Killed the Dinosaurs?” compares different theories and offers a forum and quiz. The Evolution section looks at the history of the theory. There is also a teacher’s section with activities and lesson plans on classification, evolution, climate, and tectonics. Some sections also discuss the site’s relation to the BBC TV series accompanying it.

Title: Discovering Plate Boundaries	Keywords: Geologic time,Geology,Geophysics,Natural hazards,Physical geography,Structural geology	Description: Discovering Plate Boundaries is based on 5 world maps containing earthquake, volcano, topography, satellite gravity, and seafloor age data. The novel aspect of the exercise is the "jigsaw" manner in which student groups access the maps and use them to discover, classify, and describe plate boundary types. The exercise is based only on observation and description, which makes it useful at a wide variety of levels; it has been used successfully in 5th grade classes, as well as in non-major earth science classes. The exercise is based on a set of wall maps that are not consumed during the exercise. Other inexpensive materials required include two 11x17 black and white copies per student and colored pencils. Because the exercise is not based on student access to the web, it is not dependent on classroom technology equipment. The exercise takes three 50-minute class periods to complete, and involves the students in making presentations to one another in small groups as well as to the whole class. The students come away from the exercise with knowledge of the key features of each type of plate boundary and a sense of why each looks and acts the way it does.

Title: The Earth Science Division at NASA Ames Research Center	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Climatology,Environmental science	Description: Focusing on the science issues associated with global change, the Division's research is particularly concerned with atmospheric and ecosystem science and biosphere/atmosphere interaction. Also of interest is the development and application of new technologies required to bring insight to these science topics. These investigations address some of the most fundamental questions of concern to the global community: what is the current state of our planet's environment; what natural and human caused processes are directing our planet's environmental future; and what can the record of past planetary environmental change tell us. Key components of the Earth Science Division's research programs include: the study of the physical and chemical processes of biogeochemical cycling; ecosystem dynamics of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; the chemical and transport processes that determine atmospheric composition, dynamics and climate; and the physical processes that determine the behavior of the atmosphere on the earth and other solar system bodies.

Title: Virtually Hawaii	Keywords: Geology,Physical geography,Technology	Description: This site is based primarily on remotely sensed data covering the state of Hawaii on various scales. Users may view satellite and radar imagery, as well as access satellite and weather data. A customized viewer allows you to select the island, the scale, the specific area of the island, and the type of image you would like to view. Other options include a virtual tour of the islands. Once again, images can be selected for an area, and a caption describes what the image contains. There is a tutorial section that explains how sensors such as radar and spectrometers operate, and includes an interactive “spectral imager” where users pick their own band combinations to view the differences between chosen wavelengths in remotely sensed imagery. Virtually Hawaii became static on September 1, 1999. However, most of the links and information were still working at the time of cataloging.

Title: TerraFly: Virtually Fly Over the Entire United States	Keywords: Physical geography	Description: TerraFly is an interactive tool that allows the visualization and manipulation of spatial data. Accessed via a standard Web browser or customized CD-ROM versions, and independent of a user’s level of expertise, this system allows the integration of remotely sensed data with digital data while a user is seamlessly flying over and viewing the resulting imagery. Data currently available includes land, urban, and coastal imagery collected by satellites, aerial photography, and other remote sensing means. Features that expand TerraFly’s data manipulation capabilities include: a compass control that allows 360-degree control of flight direction and speed, access to a database of place/street names and their coordinates, complete descriptions of areas of defined interest, zoom in/zoom out capabilities, and information overlays that allow users to highlight specific features from the database. TerraFly's technology can be used in K-12 classrooms to promote the use of interactive programs that teach students about their world and its environment. It can be customized to show relevant geographic areas of interest; for example, you can "fly" over your neighborhood or an ancient ruin in Greece. Teachers can tailor the experience to their needs by choosing various overlays, homework assignments, and interactive games to be used in conjunction with TerraFly. Step-by-step and animated tutorials are available to help users get started.

Title: Ice Age Paleontology of Southeast Alaska	Keywords: Human geography,Paleontology	Description: In 1990 vertebrate fossils were found in the caves of southeast Alaska, an area of impressive karst topography. Since then, large-scale paleontological and archaeological excavations have been conducted on northern Prince of Wales Island, and the research is now expanding to other islands and coastal mainland areas of southeast Alaska. The goal of this research is to establish a complete chronology of mammals, birds, and fish living in the region before, during, and following the Last Glacial Maximum, and up to the present day. This work is helping to establish the timing and extent of glaciation, the presence of Ice Age coastal refugia for land mammals, and the possibility that humans first entered North America by this coastal route. The results of this research are available at this site.

Title: Simulating Fire Patterns in Heterogeneous Landscapes	Keywords: Ecology,Forestry,Natural hazards	Description: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Environmental Science Division personnel are developing a computer fire simulation, an Ecological Model for Burning the Yellowstone Region (EMBYR), to investigate the causes and consequences of large-scale fires like those that burned in Yellowstone National Park during 1988. EMBYR is not designed to make predictions about single fire events, but will be used as a "what-if" tool to investigate possible landscape-scale effects of variation in fire frequency, fire management, and global climate regimes over time scales ranging from complete fire seasons to millennia. Data from the Forest Lake Fire was used to show simulation output by the model.

Title: Fossils	Keywords: Geologic time,Paleontology	Description: Fossils is an activity for grades 1-2 that enables students to apply their interest in dinosaurs to discovering how fossils tell us about our past. As a result of this activity, the students will be able to: tell a friend or parent who a paleontologist is and what he does; explain what a fossil is; explain how we use fossils to learn about the past; and make a fossil using clay, plaster of paris, and some sort of molding object such as a shell, leaf, bone, etc. A suggested extension of this activity is turning it into an archaeological “dig” by burying objects in plaster of paris and then using dull instruments to dig for the “fossils.”

Title: Radio Astronomy (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)	Keywords: Space science,Technology	Description: This article is a Why Files short piece on how astronomers use information from radio astronomy. Contrary to popular belief, large radio telescopes are not looking for signs of life outside our solar system, but are making images of black holes, centers of galaxies, and gamma ray bursts. These phenomena cannot be seen in visible light, but emit radio waves which can be translated into images. The article discusses how this process works, and the information gathered from radio waves.

Title: Endangered Ecosystems of the United States: A Preliminary Assessment of Loss and Degradation	Keywords: Ecology,Environmental science	Description: In this extensive online report, the authors give estimated declines of natural ecosystems in the United States, provide a rationale for ecosystem-level conservation, discuss decline and threat as criteria for conservation, and relate ecosystem losses to endangerment at species and population levels. They further recommend that integrated conservation plans for ecosystems be developed in partially disturbed as well as in pristine sites to restore native biodiversity to those areas. Ecosystem conservation is not considered a substitute for species-level conservation. The undated report appears to be from about 1995.

Title: South Florida Ecosystem History Database	Keywords: Biology,Ecology,Environmental science	Description: This website contains foraminifer, mollusk, ostracod, pollen, dinoflagellate, and diatom data from modern surface and core sites across the South Florida ecosystem (ranging back approximately 200 years). Users can view maps of the core and sample collection sites. Latitude and longitude information is available as well. Application of the database facilitates recognition of long-term trends in biota that will help determine the range of natural variability in environmental changes, such as salinity and substrate conditions, and help determine if changes correlate to natural events or human activities. The database also combines information about extant biota, environmental conditions, and modern sedimentation from specific sites across South Florida. These data can provide a valuable tool for monitoring the effects of changes produced by efforts to restore the South Florida ecosystem to a more natural state. The region is divided into three parts: Biscayne Bay and the Southeast coast, Florida Bay and the Southwest coast, and terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and southern Florida. The site is linked to the South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) Website, which provides managers and scientists with better access to information on South Florida.

Title: East Coast Ecosystems: The Right Whale	Keywords: Biological oceanography,Environmental science	Description: The primary concern of East Coast Ecosystems (ECE) Research Organization is the fate of the North Atlantic right whale. The right whale is the world's rarest large whale: fewer than 350 remain alive today. Although right whales have been protected from whaling since 1935, the population has failed to show any significant signs of recovery. Conservationists and scientists are working with industry and government to find solutions to some of the problems facing the right whale. ECE provides users with guidelines for responsible whale watching and ways they can help the right whale. Descriptions of several individuals and families of whales include those the organization has helped to monitor over the years. The organization is based in Canada.

Title: Habitat Conservation Planning Support	Keywords: Biology,Ecology	Description: The Habitat Conservation Plan is a program administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service that addresses ecological issues in the Pacific Southwest. The fundamental concern is to effectively plan for the long-term conservation of a species at risk and its habitat. Animal data such as habitat, genetics, breeding, populations, and physiology is collected in order to understand ecological processes that provide suitable conditions for the wildlife. An impact analysis looks at what factors limit the distribution and abundance of a given species, such as disease, habitat loss, and exotic species. Once a Habitat Conservation Plan is implemented, ecological monitoring assesses how the conservation elements of the plan are performing to achieve the stated goals of the plan. There is a section about reserve design that illustrates the sizes and configurations of protected landscapes suitable for sustaining species. Case studies outline habitat conservation planning efforts in Utah, and concerning the desert tortoise in Nevada.

Title: Global Change Instruction Program	Keywords: Atmospheric science,Biology,Chemistry,Ecology,Environmental science,Physics,Policy issues	Description: This series is designed by college professors to fill an urgent need for interdisciplinary materials on global change. The materials are aimed at undergraduate students who are not majoring in science. The modular materials can be integrated into a number of existing courses in, for example, the earth sciences, biology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, and the social sciences. The materials have been written to capture the interest of the student who has little grounding in math and the technical aspects of science but whose intellectual curiosity is piqued by a concern for the environment. Modules include biogeochemical cycles, biological consequences of climate change, human energy use, population growth, international environmental law, and stratospheric ozone depletion.

Title: Desert Dust Kills Florida Fish	Keywords: Biology,Environmental science	Description: This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) article discusses the connection between dust storms in Africa, and red tides along the Florida coast. Red tides are blooms of toxic algae that kill fish, birds, and mammals, as well as cause health problems in humans. Storm activity in the Sahara Desert region kicks up topsoil that winds transport into the Gulf of Mexico. These clouds fertilize the water with iron, which bacteria named Trichodesmium use to create nitrogen. The nitrogen makes the water a friendly environment for the toxic algae. This article discusses this process and research that is going on to help solve the problem.
