| Non mathematical but detailed overview of space research on the Earth's environment in space. Includes a glossary of space terminology, and covers electrons, auroral acceleration and magnetic storms. | |
| Details of Canada's national space programme, including the Radarsat Earth observation satellite. | ||
| Non governmental organisation devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of photogrammetry and remote sensing and their applications. PRS is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information from non-contact imaging and other sensor systems about the Earth and its environment. | ||
| ASTER is an imaging instrument on EOS AM 1, a satellite launched in 1998 as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). ASTER will be used to obtain detailed maps of surface temperature, emissivity, and reflectance elevation. | ||
| Resource tracing the formation of the earth over 4.5 billion years, explaining how the earth has evolved, how to read rocks, why there are ocean basins, mountains and continents, what causes climate and climate change, and what makes the earth habitable. Provides details of rock collecting expeditions, the scientists involved, steps involved in preparing rocks for exhibition, and tools used on expeditions. Also features an illustrated glossary of geology terms and selected minerals. | ||
| Set of Earth statistics, images and movies. | ||
| Earth Interactions exploits the capabilities of electronic communications technology to add value to the publication of research results in the interdisciplinary earth sciences. The journal publishes articles dealing with the interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in the context of global issues or global change. It provides authors with the opportunity to use animations and other visualisation techniques that traditional publications cannot accommodate. | ||
| This supplement provides additional information about subjects that appear in the printed version of Eos as a way of extending coverage in areas of growing importance to geophysical scientists. Brief material in the printed component of Eos will reference the longer, more detailed information on the same topic in the supplement. | ||
| Monitors regional and global changes on Earth and explores the causes and effects of climactic and environmental change through the use of satellite data. Includes sections on climate and biosphere monitoring, earth science, tropical cyclone and hurricane research, and an Observation Deck featuring a data chart showing all environmental measurements displayed by the Earth Observatory. Each section contains an illustrated summary of related research with links to further information and colour satellite images. | ||
| Information about an interdisciplinary experiment to use satellite data to monitor the northern boreal forests of Canada. Offers results of findings, and data covering airborne fluxes and meteorology, hydrology, terrestrial ecology and trace gas biogeochemistry. | ||
| Daily image reports from Terra, a NASA satellite launched to investigate interrelationships in the Earth system between land, ocean, atmosphere, and life. Data gathered will enable future climate changes to be predicted, allowing us to prepare effectively for the future. | ||
| Repository of aerial photographs and satellite images of the earth which can be viewed online. | ||
| Calculates the day length, time of sunrise and sunset, and the sun's height at noon for any given location and particular time of year. | ||
| Extensive collection of different views of the Earth with maps, globes, satellite images, artistic visions, and more, also includes time zones. | ||
| Collection of real time satellite images of the Earth's regions, depicting land masses, atmospheric conditions, and oceans. Also illustrates cloud cover and wind speed, and details the geographical coordinates and scale of areas viewed. | ||
| A large collection of photographs of the Earth taken by astronauts from the Space Shuttle, including pictures of specific cities, bays and coastlines. It is possible to search for a particular area. | ||
| The 2111 Foundation for Exploration funds research and educational programs around the world, promoting the exploration of space and the preservation of Earth. | ||
| Covers integrated applications in the geotechnologies, including remote sensing, GIS, image processing, GPS, mapping, photogrammetry, orthophotography, and surveying. Tables of contents only. | ||
| The Sea Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor Project aims to understand the earth's behaviour and evolution by looking at it from space, and to gather quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties. Colour satellite images of plankton blooms, chlorophyll concentrations, coral reefs, and hurricanes are available, as well as technical reports and a teacher's section. | ||
| NASA program that aims to capture the spirit of exploration and focus it back on the Earth. NASA and its partners are striving to discover patterns in climate that will allow prediction of environmental events such as floods and severe winters. | ||
| WMO is a specialist organisation of the United Nations, based in Geneva. It coordinates global scientific activity in areas of weather prediction, air pollution research, climate change, ozone layer depletion studies and tropical storm forecasting, to allow prompt and accurate weather information for public, private and commercial use, including international airline and shipping industries. Major WMO progammes include World Weather Watch, Applications of Meteorology, World Climate Research, Global Climate Observing System, Atmospheric Research and Environment, Hydrology and Water Resources, Education and Training. Information is in English, French and Spanish. | ||
| Set of projects investigating the effects of human disturbance on the Earth's biogeochemical processes. Emphasis is placed on the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle, forest decline and land use change, nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, and processes contributing to changes in atmospheric chemistry and climate. Additional sections include a list of publications, associated projects and graduate education resources. | ||
