Greendex: survey of sustainable consumption

National Graphic and GlobeScan have teamed up on a research project called the Greendex, and it
provides a multitude of useful ways for visitors to learn how well consumers are "going green".
The map in shades of green, yellow, and gray on the homepage allows visitors to see which of seventeen
different countries are the most environmentally sustainable in their practices and policies.

Ozcoasts: Australian online coastal information

OzCoasts is an online resource providing comprehensive information about Australia's coasts (including its estuaries and coastal waterways) for natural resource managers, marine scientists, planners, policy makers and the general public created by the collaborative efforts of more than 100 coastal scientists from a wide range of government agencies and universities. It includes a coastal landform and stability mapping tool, a database of coastal information, various conceptual models, coastal indicator factsheets, a habitat mapping toolkit and information on natural resources management.

Animal research info

AnimalResearch.info is an international collaboration of scientists and researchers providing information about the use of animals in medical research. This website outlines the important contribution of animal research to medical advances and provides detailed information on drug development, medical advances, animal models, alternatives and the 3Rs, regulation and legislation, and experimental design and analysis. There is a document library and an A-Z listing of organisations (commercial, academic, and charities) that conduct research using animals, with links to each of their policy statements on animal research.

Antarctic Data Series

The Antarctic Data Series are publications from the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University, New Zealand, containing compilations of data and analyses of fieldwork unsuitable for publication in academic journals but believed to be of value to the research community. Over thirty volumes are available full text from 1971 to date covering topics such as sedimentation and oceanography below the McMurdo ice shelf at Windless Bight, and mineral and rock analyses of lithospheric xenoliths from Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica.

Chemistry for Biologists

"Chemistry for Biologists" is a resource from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) which aims to help A-level students and first year undergraduates understand the chemical principles underlying much of biology. Seventeen chapters are provided, each with a short multiple-choice test. They cover: basic chemistry, inorganic ions, water and living organisms, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, cells, metabolism and energy, energy flow, gas exchange, transport of oxygen in the blood, respiration, photosynthesis, excretion and the liver, and nerves and hormones. The site has been designed for use with Internet Explorer and also requires Microsoft PowerPoint and the MDL Chime plug-in.

Resources for Earth Sciences and Geography Instruction

Dr. Mark Francek of Central Michigan University has created this helpful website for science educators and students interested in the fields of earth science and geography. This clearinghouse of useful educational resources is organized alphabetically around the sequence of topics that one might encounter in an introductory earth science or physical geography class. Some of these topics include "Atmospheric Moisture", "Glaciers", "Water Pollution", and "Population". Each topical area includes links to high-quality online resources, complete with a short description authored by Professor Francek. Visitors to the site can also sign up for Professor Francek's "Earth Science Site of the Week" email update. Finally, the site also has a slide show of compelling images drawn from the world of earth science.
