Environmental News Network

http://www.enn.com/

This site has aggregated environmental news for more than 16 years. It provides input from subject experts, offering current awareness tools and links to other environment-related Web sites as well as news. ENN covers environmental issues all over the globe, provides RSS feeds, and sends out a daily e-newsletter. Users can also follow ENN via Twitter.

Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences

"Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences discusses how some of the most important scientific and societal challenges can be addressed, at least in part, by collaborative research that lies at the intersection of traditional disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics. This book describes how some of the mysteries of the biological world are being addressed using tools and techniques developed in the physical sciences, and identifies five areas of potentially transformative research. Work in these areas would have significant impact in both research and society at large by expanding our understanding of the physical world and by revealing new opportunities for advancing public health, technology, and stewardship of the environment."

This book can be read free online

Endangered Species International

With a focus on interdisciplinary work, Endangered Species International has a set of core values that includes "passion for nature" and "optimism for
solving the species extinction crisis." On their homepage, visitors can learn about their latest actions, see their latest photos from the field,
and learn about their research projects. First-time visitors should click on the "Our Projects" area, to learn about their "Current Project" on saving
endangered animals from the bushmeat trade in the Congo and coral reef protection. Moving on, the "Endangered Species" area features some fact
sheets and overviews regarding extinct species, threatened species, and rediscovered species.

Astro2010: The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey

Every ten years, the National Research Council (NRC) of The National Academy of Sciences produces a series of surveys related to their areas of
scientific inquiry. The public release of the Astro2010 survey of astronomy and astrophysics took place on August 13, 2010, and visitors to this site
can read the report and also watch the webcast from the release event.  The goal of this publication is to "recommend priorities for the most important
scientific and technical activities of the decade 2010-2020." Drawing on the expertise of scholars at Stanford University, Vassar College, the University
of Chicago, and other institutions, the report is a crucial piece of work on what should be done across the board in these two branches of the physical
sciences.

International Rivers

http://www.internationalrivers.org/

International Rivers is an organization that opposes the construction of destructive dams on rivers, and they also support communities affected by dams. Their aim is to "protect rivers and promote just and sustainable water and energy development." Along with each answer, there is most often an article, slideshow, video or other resource to explore further. Some of the pieces examine why there is opposition to large dams, the expense of hydroelectricity, the lack of local jobs produced when a dam is being built in a developing country, and the number of people displaced by dams. Under the "Get Involved" tab, there is a section called "Tools for Educators" that include lessons for introductory learners, intermediate learners, advanced learners, and a "River Educator's Toolkit", which contains lessons on the four major rivers in Asia, Africa, and South America.

LiveScience

http://www.livescience.com/

LiveScience, launched in 2004, is a news source for accessible science, health and technology news targeting people who are curious about their minds, bodies, and the world around them. Themes include space, animals, health, environment, technology, culture and history. The site utilises a variety of media.

Liquid Journals

http://liquidjournal.org/

This beta site provides a platform for publishing scientific data assembled by individuals or groups of scientists and experts. It does not discriminate between peer reviewed and non peer reviewed papers, raw data sets and blog posts. The idea is that smart scientists can decide for themselves what belongs in their own liquid journal, and influential leaders and groups in the movement will organically accrue a readership to their journal according to the quality of the work they select.

A Gallery of Ray Tracing for Geometers

http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/23/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=3350

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has developed the Loci site to bring high-quality instructional materials to math educators everywhere. One of their more recent offerings is this article by Michael Grady of Southern Utah University on how to add animations to geometric constructions. The piece talks about how users might use computers and open source ray tracing software to add the dimension of time to their presentations and illustrations. The abstract for the article notes that "The web provides a viable medium for enhancing mathematical presentations with photo-realistic
graphics and video." Visitors will note that the piece includes six different sections, including "Projections", "Rotations", and "References".
