"In the long-term, this Portal is intended to give users a quick, integrated, browse-and-query "glimpse" of map data published by many agencies, and to direct them to the source information. Like the NGMDB Map Catalog, it's another way for people to find your maps. It helps people find publications, but in a more visual way, and gives them an overview of a region's geology Portal features include: - National-scale bedrock and surficial maps, and four state-scale maps, - a Dynamic Legend that shows only the map units within the field of view, - a new Geologic Materials classification, designed to help the layman by bringing these maps into a unified view, using simple terms and definitions, - a simplified back-end database whose design and science terminologies are related to the new "NCGMP09" design, - integration with other NGMDB databases (Map Catalog and Geol

"Welcome to Breathing Earth. This real-time simulation displays the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, as well as their birth and death rates.
Please remember that this real time simulation is just that: a simulation. Although the CO2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the CO2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high." http://www.breathingearth.net/

Wired News-"San Franciscans may have noticed an odd, camera-laden car driving through city streets taking photos of everything, but this time, it wasn’t Google. The car belongs instead to earthmine, whose cameras capture more data than Google’s do, using a higher-resolution, stereo photography technique that assigns specific points in space to every captured surface."
