Gorgeous Quest - Mapping the seafloor

Thanks to Josh for pointing this out. Watch this lovely Quest (from KQED) show on mapping our coastal seafloor from Sonoma to Monterey Bay. Great visualizations of active underwater remote sensing.

Speaking of Google Earth…

A couple of newsworthy items concerning our neighbor to the south (Not including Karin's "Google Gate Bridge" idea): 1. Google Earth gets assisted by new satellite; 2. Google Earth used in Fossett search.

CASA software tools

The UCL CENTRE FOR ADVANCED SPATIAL ANALYSIS (CASA) has some nice webGIS and other GIS tools for you to check out. Including some Google Maps mapping tools that provide nice transparencies and other cartography; a CA model; and other tidbits.

New LE tool: Conefor Sensinode 2.2: Software for quantifying the importance of habitat patches for landscape connectivity

New Patch/Corridor tool: CONEFOR SENSINODE 2.2. This is a new software that allows quantifying the importance of habitat areas for the maintenance or improvement of landscape connectivity. It is conceived as a tool for decision-making support in landscape planning and habitat conservation, through the identification and prioritization of critical sites for ecological connectivity. I know nothing about it, but looks cool.

NASA Hazards Page

I am getting some links organized for class this semester, and will be posting some of the key sites we can go to for examples and other fodder. The NASA Hazards page is great.

USGS Earthquake Maps - Reorganized

The USGS earthquake site that we all love and was the inspiration for OakMapper has reorganized a bit, and has some nice global quake maps. See that we on the Hayward fault are not alone: USGS Earthquake Hazards Program

New Category - Geographic Music Videos

OK, so there might not be many in this new category, but Bjork's "Jóga" video is kickin. Saw it at the gym. You know Bjork, Bono said of her: "She has a voice like an icepick that cut straight through to me heart!..." Regardless, this is all shot via fly-thoughs of Iceland, with some tectonic CGI. Very geographic.

Pictometry Images of Europe

Check out Oscar's hint from Europe: Pictometry. Rad 3-D images of European cities derived from a airborne 5-camera system.

WhereCamp, June 2nd-3rd

Y'all might be interested in this. Hell, I might even go. Via the geowanking list,

A quick reminder: WhereCamp is being held June 2-3 at the Yahoo! Sunnyvale campus. There'll be sessions and whatnot. You might also consider it a Geowanking list meet-up of sorts. Description: WhereCamp un-conference. Free. A hugely energetic overlap of diverse interests ranging from newbies, web 2.0 and mobile developers, social place hackers and artists to grad students, geographers, earth scientists and people focused on humanitarian and environmental efforts.
