The
Conservation Geoportal is a collaborative
effort by and for the conservation community
to facilitate the discovery and publishing
of geographic information systems (GIS)
data and maps, to support conservation decision-making
and education. It is primarily a data catalogue,
intended to provide a comprehensive listing
of GIS data sets and map services relevant
to biodiversity conservation. The Conservation
Geoportal does not actually store maps and
data, but rather the descriptions and links
to those resources, known as "metadata.

UNOSAT provides the humanitarian and
development communities with updated and
accurate geographic information and access
to satellite imagery. The purpose of UNOSAT
is then to encourage, facilitate, accelerate
and expand the use of accurate geographic
information derived from EO-satellite imagery
by professionals involved in achieving vulnerability
reduction, crisis management and recovery
as well as sustainable development at the
local level.

Blue Marble: Next Genetation - In celebration
of the deployment of its Earth Observing
System, NASA is pleased to share the newest
in its series of stunning Earth images,
affectionately named the “Blue Marble.”
This new Earth imagery enhances the Blue
Marble legacy by providing a detailed look
at an entire year in the life of our planet.
In sharing these Blue Marble images, NASA
hopes the public will join with the agency
in its continuing exploration of our world
from the unique perspective of space.

The
Global
Land Cover Facility (GLCF) provides
earth science data and products to help
everyone to better understand global environmental
systems. In particular, the GLCF develops
and distributes remotely sensed satellite
data and products that explain land cover
from the local to global scales.

and in some selected regions 1 metre imagery
is available. Over 10 Terabytes of LANDSAT
imagery is available for direct and free
use in GIS/ CAD/ RS/ MS Office applications
on your desktop without the need to download
the data.

The
MODIS Rapid Response System was
developed to provide daily satellite
images of the Earth's landmasses in near
real time. True-colour, photo-like
imagery and false-color imagery are
available within a few hours of being
collected, making the system a valuable
resource for organizations like the U.S.
Forest Service and the international
fire monitoring community, who use the
images to track fires; the United States
Department of Agriculture Foreign
Agricultural Service, who monitors crops
and growing conditions; and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
and the United States Air Force Weather
Agency, who track dust and ash in the
atmosphere. The science community also
uses the system in projects like the
Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), which
studies particles like smoke, pollution,
or dust in the atmosphere. More
information about science and
application partners, including links,
is provided on our applications page.
Captioned interpreted images for
educators, the media, and the public are
available through the Earth Observatory.
The system is freely available
everyone--scientists, operational users,
educators, and the general public.

TerraServer-USA is a free online repository
of public domain aerial imagery and satellite
imagery, formerly known as Microsoft TerraServer.
At present, the site claims to have black
and white aerial photographs of approximately
97% of the United States. In 2000, the USGS
launched the new Urban Areas program, which
will ultimately take high-resolution color
aerial photographs of about 100 major American
cities. TerraServer has added Urban Areas
data for 40 cities. (source:
