Geographic Information
System Interactive Map Server Cornell University's Institute
for the Study of the Continents (INSTOC) has launched this interactive,
data-rich Website to provide regional "maps showing major geographic
features of a region, along with such information as the location
of earthquake faults, a record of earthquake occurrences and technical
data about the events." The Geoscience Interactive Database (Java
applet with accompanying User Guide) enables users to interact
dynamically with "large volumes of organized digital data sets,
map and display any parts of selected data," and create unique
maps for download (in postscript or JPEG formats). In addition
to the database, INSTOC offers information about their current
projects, highlighted at the Webpage, including Building the Digital
Earth, Active Tectonics Studies in the Dead Sea Fault Zone, and
The Saudi Arabia Seismology Project, among others.
Geographics Information Systems (GIS) Data & Metadata The
US Geological Survey's Midcontinent Ecological Science Center
provides online access to metadata and data from numerous research
projects conducted during recent decades. Projects are listed
by title or state, and accessibility of data is described for
each project year. Research projects include bird surveys, vegetation
sampling, black bear territory studies, and moose surveys, among
others. Metadata are available for all projects, although detailed
data are only available for a subset of projects. The data available
for download are provided as self-extracting, compressed ARC/INFO
files (.exe) or compressed ARC/INFO files for UNIX platforms (.gz
and .tar).
