Geologylink:
A public forum for all matters geological. This
area is open to students, university instructors, teachers,
professional geologists, amateurs, and anyone else who seeks
insight into the world’s daily geological rumblings.
EarthNet:
EarthNet is a comprehensive collection of known
teaching resources for teachers and students of all levels -
elementary, junior and senior high school. The site also provides
an on-line forum for teachers of the earth sciences to exchange
teaching ideas and techniques.
Western
Region Coastal and Marine Geology Team: We are
designing this site to accommodate visitors with a wide range of
educational backgrounds, from kids in elementary school to adults
with little or no background in geology to professionals in
geology and other earth sciences.
Ask-A-Geologist:
Do you have a question about volcanoes,
earthquakes, mountains, rocks, maps, ground water, lakes, or
rivers?
Global
Volcanism Program: The Global Volcanism
Program (GVP) seeks better understanding of all volcanoes through
documenting their eruptions--small as well as large--during the
past 10,000 years. Our retrospective effort to document Earth's
volcanic eruptions of the last 10,000 years has led to
development of comprehensive computer databases and an archive of
relevant maps, photos, and documents.
Volcanic
Homepage: The volcanic homepage is an attempt
to create a useful tool for volcanologists on the Internet. It is
meant to be a source of information, archived material, new ideas
and practical computer models to simulate eruptions. It is thus,
a good "jumping off" station for those searching the
net for information on eruptions.
NASA
EOS IDS Volcanology Team: Welcome to the EOS
IDS Volcanology Home Page. We are providing information about the
project activities of the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS)
Interdisciplinary Science (IDS) Investigation Volcanology Team.
The title of our investigation is: A Global Assessment of Active
Volcanism, Volcanic Hazards, and Volcanic Inputs to the
Atmosphere from the Earth Observing System.
Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park: Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park (HVNP) is an unparalleled experience in geological
grandeur.
MTU
Volcanoes Page: A primary focus of volcanology
is to provide scientific and educational information that can
lead to hazard mitigation. Michigan Tech's Volcanoes Page aims to
provide information about volcanoes to the public. Amongst these
pages you will find information about current global volcanic
activity, research in remote sensing of volcanoes and their
eruptive products, hazard mitigation, "Decade
Volcanoes", links to government agencies and research
institutions, and even some volcano humor.
Cascades
Volcanology Observatory: Cascades Volcano
Observatory (CVO) strives to serve the public interest by helping
people to live knowledgeably and safely with volcanoes and other
natural hazards including earthquakes, landslides, and debris
flows, in the western United States and elsewhere in the world.
CVO also studies the impact of natural processes on our
environment, including the effects of volcanic gases on the
atmosphere, increased sediment transport on streams and life
forms that depend on them, and various other geologic or
hydrologic processes on the landscape.
Global
Earthquake Response Center: This site has been
developed to bring you the latest in earthquake information,
detection, reporting and news from around the world.
Preparing
for Natural Disasters: Disasters take many
forms. They're caused by gale force winds, sudden floods,
releases of deadly chemicals, fire, ice, even upheavals of the
earth itself. When disaster strikes, the best protection is
knowing what to do.Find out more about disasters and steps you
can take to prepare.
Worldwide
Earthquake Locator: The WorldWide Earthquake
Locator was developed in the Department of Geography at the
University of Edinburgh as an example of a real-time Geographical
Information System, which makes use the internet. The Locator
accesses data at the National Earthquake Information Center
(NEIC) in Golden, Colorado. Every time the Locator is accessed it
retrieves data about recent earthquakes and thus information is
available on any earthquake within hours of it taking place.
USGS:
The mission of the USGS is to provide geologic,
topographic, and hydrologic information that contributes to the
wise management of the earth's natural resources and that
promotes the health, safety, and well-being of the people. This
information consists of maps, databases, and descriptions and
analyses of the water, energy, and mineral resources, land
surface, underlying geologic structure, natural hazards, and
dynamic processes of the earth.
Color Relief Map of the United
States: This site contains color
shaded relief maps of the U.S. Currently two complete maps are
available. The original map is version 1.0 and shows coastlines,
boundaries, and rivers. Elevation is shown by color bands with
the topography shaded within each band.Version 2.0 uses a
continuous color shading and has more subdued colors. Coastlines
and boundaries are also more subdued. Rivers are not shown on
version 2.0. Each map consists of 60 GIF images that cover most
of the continental U.S. Both maps show an amazing amount of
detail, showing the geomorphology of the U.S. as seldom ever
seen.
Volcano World: VolcanoWorld is a huge World Wide
Web site providing accurate and interesting information about
volcanoes to kids, teachers, parents, geologists, tourists,
reporters and anyone else who visits.
