This site illustrates the Alaska Volcano Observatory's (AVO) objective to monitor Alaska's volcanoes for the purpose of forecasting volcanic activity and alleviating hazards. AVO's seismometers and satellite imagery allow visitors to obtain current information on selected volcanoes. Because AVO is responsible for volcanic emergencies, people in Alaska can visit the Web site to determine their vulnerability. The site also features AVO's research in geological mapping, modeling of magnetic systems, and development of new instrumentation for predication and interpretation of volcanic unrest. Everyone can appreciate the images of past volcanic eruptions. [RME]

Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) have created a site depicting the belief that "science and technology should be used responsibly in a way that contributes to justice and peace in human society and to the long-term well-being of the wider environment". Scientists can download reports that the group, consisting of 600 scientists, has written such as Cleaner Technologies: A Positive Choice. Students can learn about how to make wise career choices that will be both rewarding and environmentally friendly. The site also contains abstracts of future and previous conferences including Franks Barnaby's abstract The Rick of Nuclear Terrorism. All scientists and students interested in promoting ethical science and technology will want to explore this site. [RME]

This site illustrates the USGS's research in astrogeology, which is "the science devoted to studying the origin, composition, structure, and history of the planets and their moons." Geologists will find information about the technologies, programs, and projects including the Planetary Geologic Mapping Program and the Lunar Pyroclastic Volcanism project. The site also provides scientists with the latest news in planetary science and remote sensing. Educators and students can take advantage of the abundant information dealing with characteristics of each of the planets, as well as their satellites. GIS users can find data sets and tutorials. Amazing images of the earth and other planets in our solar system are abundant throughout the site. [RME]
