| Organisation supporting and promoting earth science and technology to help reduce the economic results of ozone layer depletion, global warming, destruction of forests, and acid rain. A community of scientists and engineers discuss research proposals, planning and promotion via the earth science and technology forum, and a gallery of photographs taken during development programs is included. Information is available in Japanese and English. | |
| Links to online earth science journals and magazines. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Peer reviewed journal covering a range of topics in earth science, with special emphasis on topics relating to the US mid-continent and Kansas geoscience. Full text articles are available. | ||
| Set of links to earth science journals. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Describes NASA's earth science related research, covering programs, missions, and spacecraft. News stories, technical reports, images, and videos illustrate the use of space technology to understand how land, water, air, and life interact to create Earth's environment. Also provides strategies, programs, products for teaching earth science, and a section for children containing facts and pictures on how NASA studies air, natural hazards, land, and water. | ||
| Index to 500 earth science journals, with topics including analytical techniques, atmospheric sciences, cartography, geophysics, mineralogy, ocean sciences, planetary sciences, and volcanology. This French mirror also includes links to other Earth Science resources, some of which are in French. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The GeoRef database provides access to the geoscience literature of the world. The database contains over two million references to geoscience journal articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports and theses. | ||
| A US non profit, non-governmental organisation to provide information that would help scientists, decision-makers, and the public better understand the changing world. CIESIN specialises in global and regional network development, science data management, decision support, training, education, and technical consultation. Includes demographic data, and documents on change in agriculture and forestry. | ||
| Collection of fact sheets outlining NASA's research activities in a range of disciplines such as aerospace technology, earth science, human exploration and development of space, space science, and technology transfer. | ||
| Earth science resources for instructors and students of geology, geography, meteorology, and environmental sciences, including news, maps and related links. | ||
