Earth Science Links
- Web Geological Time Machine, University of
California-Berkeley, this website provides a comprehensive time table of
all of earth'ls known geological history. Included are links to
information on all eras in both Precambrian time and the Phanerozoic Eon.
Links are also included for all periods of each known era as well, from
the Vendian period of the Proterozoic Era to the Holocene period (modern
time). The site is a plethora of paleontology, archeology, climatology,
geography, and geology information and includes vast amounts of
interesting photos, diagrams, images, and charts. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/timeform.html
- Molecules with Weird or Silly Names, University of Bristol, suggested
by Mary Anne Smith, MI, "Believe it or not, some chemists do have a sense
of humour, and this page is a testament to that. Here we'll show you some
real molecules that have unusual, ridiculous or downright silly names."
Examples: megaphone, erotic acid, and spamol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/silly/sillymols.htm
- Operation Significant Event Imagery (OSEI), NOAA, find high resolution
imagery focusing on hazard related themes like dust storms, fires,
floods, severe weather, and volcanoes. A current events section has
imagery from Iraq and recent volcanic eruptions. Short narratives
accompany each image. Weekly updates of the latest imagery can be sent
directly to your e-mail account. http://www.osei.noaa.gov/index.html
- Paleo-climatology, NOAA, the stated mission of the website is to
"provide the paleoclimatic data and information needed to understand and
model interannual to centennial scale environmental variability." There
are numerous links to research programs, paleoclimatic data, and
education and research. There is also an excellent section relating
paleoclimate to human history.
