Some Other Good Things.

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? /Forestry and GIS/ *- ESRI is working 
to improve their forestry enterprise GIS solutions. Your input is 
invaluable for helping them understand the needs of the forestry GIS 
user community. Simply answer their survey questions and let them know 
the purpose, trends, and capabilities of your organization's GIS. This 
information will help guide GIS technology development so that ESRI can 
better serve you. http://esriurl.com/4561

*EarthObserver App released on iTunes*(*/it's free for a limited time) 
/*- The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University has 
released an App called EarthObserver specifically for the iPhone, iPod 
touch and iPad. EarthObserver is available from the Education Category 
of the iTunes App Store (see http://bit.ly/hx9StX). The app is free for 
a limited time. With EarthObserver you can learn about our planet's 
terrestrial landscapes, oceans and seas, frozen ice caps, atmosphere and 
clouds, geologic terrains, topography, nautical charts, natural hazards, 
human impacts, and many other earth and environmental science topics as 
you travel and explore with your fingertips. EarthObserver provides 
these main topics and sub-topics: Basemap (computer-generated 
color-shaded relief of land and ocean floor); US Coastal Bathymetry 
(with color palette appropriate to provide details of bays, sounds, 
estuaries, harbors and rivers); US Nautical Charts (paper raster and 
digital electronic at all scales for Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, 
Bering Sea, Arctic and Great Lakes); US Topographic Sheets (entire USGS 
collection for US mainland, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico); Geologic 
Maps (entire world, by continent, by country and by US state showing 
formation ages, names and rock types); Geophysical Maps (global 
earthquakes, tectonic plates and boundaries, gravity anomalies, geoid 
height, magnetic anomalies and the configuration of world stress); Land 
Surface (temperatures day and night, primary productivity, vegetation 
index, land cover classifications and diversity, forest cover types and 
fragmentation); NASA Visible Earth (global earth scenes for each month); 
Ocean Floor (crustal age, sediment types, sediment thickness, seabed 
heatflow, seafloor true color, seafloor spreading rates, manganese 
nodules); Ocean Surface (temperature, salinity, primary productivity, 
temperature during the prior ice age); Human Impact (area per person, 
human footprint index, population density (2010), infant mortality rate, 
underweight children); Hydrology (river drainage basin outlines, 
drainage networks, river flow accumulation); Natural Hazards (cyclones, 
drought, earthquakes, floods, landslides, tornadoes, volcanic 
eruptions); Atmosphere and Clouds (aerosols, carbon monoxide, cloud 
fraction, cloud optical thickness, cloud particle radius, cloud 
reflectance, cloud water content, radiation, solar insolation); Snow, 
Ice and Water (ice cover, permafrost cover, snow cover, snow-water 
equivalent, water leaving radiance, water vapor); and Shorelines and 
Political Boundaries (countries, provinces, states, maritime). See 
http://bit.ly/hx9StX. From Barry McMullan, Applied GIS RS List.

*GeoMapApp*- a free companion application that runs on Windows, 
Unix/Linux and Mac OS X can be used to display the EarthObserver 
content, and provide additional content and tools for interactive 
analysis and graphing. It is an earth science exploration and 
visualization application that provides access to thousands of data 
sets, options for importing your own data, and analytical capabilities.
